THE DEWITT FAMILY: Haunting Halloween-BOO

Going in for the Kill!!!!! Oh, it's my friend Mason

Grandma's silly hat

October 29th!! First snow of the season...just a bit early this year. However, off we go to Seattle to celebrate Halloween with the kids. Danielle's interview is also scheduled for this time and it was so nice to have Danielle join in on the Halloween celebrations. Dionne had many plans for us all. We also had time to visit with our good friends, the Smiths who had invited mutual friends whom we hadn't seen in years since they became California snowbirds and we became "recluses in Booniville!" As always Barb put on a wonderful spread. A seafood fondue was most welcome as we don't get much of that around Booniville! Amya was at a great age this year for Halloween. We went with Dionne and friends downtown Renton as the merchants had opened their stores for "Trick or Treaters!" It was totally geared for little kids and I think Amya had a good time with her "treat" bag. We then went to the Tomlinsons who have a huge tractor that pulled an open trailer all decked out for the holiday. We "hayed" around their neighborhood. For us, this was hopefully, our "First Annual Tomlinson Halloween Hay Ride!" It was great fun and quite amazing to see how people in the neighborhood had decorated their houses. The kids loved it. After that we went to Lisa and John who had a Halloween party. There is never anything better than a party at the "Walls Resort and Spa". It was just great fun to be with the family and friends for this, my favorite holiday. Danielle had a very successful interview, was offered the position and accepted it. She is now a Treatment Coordinator in an orthodontic office. We all agreed that a party at the Walls was a perfect way to celebrate her accomplishment!! She will find a place to live and move home with all three of my grand dogs in early November. Well done Danielle and yippee to me, having my children all in one state. I would say this was a memorable Halloween.
