October has treated us well so far. Our ward fall festival was a blast (loved our friends who channeled the Chaplins). Defending our chili title for the second year running, our luscious brisket chili managed a win in the mild division. Warren has been told on several occasions (including his student evaluations) that he looks like Mitchell from Modern Family. As a nod to our favorite show and one of the funniest episodes, Warren decided to capitalize on his ginger-ness. So the most important question of this Halloween season is Who Wore It Better? Mitchell, or Warren? You be the judge! The muscle-y Spidey suits were sold out, much to Warren's dismay.... Oh, and I was Medusa. Gotta love dollar store neon snakes.
Thank you for all your road trip tunes! Such great company for our trip back to Saugatuck. Seriously, this town's adorable downtown can rival Traverse City for the second most charming small town in America. Watch you back, TC, Saugatuck is coming for you. We tried to find a ghost town but our efforts were thwarted. Luckily, the leaves looked gorgeous and we got a Michigan oven mitt (despite my utter hatred of the Michigan hand thing) so it turned out okay. We also stopped by Holland, which is known for its Dutch town and tulip festival. We will definitely be going back in the spring!
We also got to hang out with some Dearborn friends who flew the coop to Muskegon. Every year they host the MSU/Michigan game. Every year it is a house divided--half their friends rooting for Michigan (maybe more than half :) and some stalwarts holding out for MSU. Since I've been watching Friday Night Lights pretty religiously for the past two weeks, watching this game was actually kind of fun. Turns out if you watch 2.5 seasons of a show that has about 5 minutes of football per episode, you'll pick up one or two of the ground rules! Thanks, FNL, for everything. We hope to squeeze in another road trip before the snow sets in but this little trip was just what we needed. What have been your October highlights thus far?
