I’ll be off until […]

Not to mention, he’s probably written Santa at least 50 letters…”Exhibit A” - Danny writing letter #50 this weekend:

Halloween and T.S. Noel

Nov 1st, 2007 by Esther | 4

Halloween was a bit thwarted with Tropical Storm Noel…too much lousy weather - too much rain/wind = not much trick o’ treating…and some unhappy campers…oh well…looking forward to next year I guess. But we did trick or treat for about 18 minutes before the skies opened up on us and we had to run […]
