and we WIN


Dear Briggz,

            THE RED SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!   And I am happy to say that we were able to watch game 6! Ok so we left Texas and traveled to Louisiana, but with the Sox battling We knew that we had to see the game. So what do you do with so much doubt in campgrounds not being in a location that would pick up FOX. You find a casino that has an RV Park attached. Oh yeah, need I tell you that the Cardinals may have the opportunity to move this series to 7 games…. Crap!!  We need to spend 2 nights at this park!!!.  So that is what we did.
We arrived that very historical night that also happened to be Halloween. Trick or Treating in Louisiana?,  NOPE, Trunk or Treating. A and C donned their costumes for what was a different take on the Halloween trek out through neighborhoods going door to door for candy.  Let me explain. We park at a church parking lot where numerous parishioners have popped the trunks of their cars, decorated them and sit in wait to hand out the goodies. Of course all of our thoughts are on the Sox game. Quick we got the goods, lets get back to the park to see the game!!!! GLORIOUS!!!! The better team won!!! Love the Boston Red Sox so much that I had to grow the beard throughout the playoffs.
A as an army guy and C as Mario
Growing it out for the Red Sox- Before


After
The next day as we come down from our World Series high we are faced with yet another obstacle. A series of strong storm are push towards our location. Storms producing tornados!!! A tornado warning was issued for our area and we are forced to abandon Gumby, our camper, and seek shelter in the lodge building of the RV park. After many games of UNO the storms tapper a bit and we decide to return to our home away from home to find that all is ok and the camper survived the strong winds and rain. We hear on the news that a tornado did touch down in the next town over. As evening drew near, a beautiful sunset was seen to end the day.
The sky after the storm

Bright sky

Much love from all of us!
