A day with the Northgate High marching band

Saturday was the last performance by the Northgate High marching band.  It was at Arbolado park, commemorating 50 years of the Walnut Creek soccer club.  

Parker found some of his friends and brought them out on the field to dance along.  Check it out in the vid.

November

The kids had a good halloween score this year.  Heidi got surgerized on Thursday and Halloween was Saturday.  I took the kids to a neighborhood party, then trunk or treat at St. Matthews, then trunk or treat at the Northgate chapel.  On Sunday I trick-or-treated with them while Heidi recuperated.  It was exhausting.  

Blake had his first basketball game today in Walnut Creek.  They got smoked 28-8.  Blake scored four of those points though.  

This was from the Moraga meet a few weeks ago.  Scott was happy about his swims and we went to Broadway plaza so he could get Chipotle, his favorite.  I like Broadway plaza.  

Scott made finals for the 200 free.  He wasn't disappointed with 3rd place and said he got a better feel for how to swim it.

The boys had their fall concert for jazz band at Northgate High.  Scott and Tyler were on piano; Tyler did some percussion too.  It was good.   

Hanna and Parker didn't sit through the concert and played outside on the lawn.

Sending off the boys to homie coming.  Nancy is our neighbor.  

Tyler went with Katelyn to the dance

Scott and his tuff friends, members of the jazz band.

I told Scott that we used to pose in front of the car doing Atlas man so he's in front of IS300. 

The boys had a fun time.
