October 25, 2025-Halloween Hopefully at Maumelle

(click for today's pictures) 

My blog title for this week has been "Halloween Hopefully," and we were indeed able to have Halloween tonight. Once again, the day just worked out perfectly.

We started the morning with Robby going to OBU for the EEE dad's day. Robby left here around 9:30 and made it there in plenty of time. They had Mexican for lunch and was quite the spread. There was a speaker, Jason Curry, and even a craft. We had been making fun of the dad's doing a craft during the week, but it was just a picture in a magnetic picture frame which was a perfect craft.

As Robby drove back, he passed the football game where Anderson was watching the Tigers win their game-it was raining well so I bet Anderson and his people were pretty wet by the end of the game.

When Robby left here, I went for a short walk around with Bentley. I had planned to walk longer but Keaton text changing the time I needed to pick her up to an hour early so that cut my walk short. I left Whitman a note, and went to pick up Keaton. 

She had spent the night at a friend's house for their birthday party. When we came back home, I folded some laundry and talked to Graham who had just woken up. Campbell was still asleep. I then came back to the camper, turned on football, and finished my book.

Robby made it back just as the rain was really starting so we had ourselves a nap. Then it was time for the Halloween festivities to begin. We first camped here during the Halloween thing in 2021 and missed 2023, but it has rained at least some every year except for the first year. 

The rain cleared with only a few bits of misty rain tonight. Shannon and Tony stayed back and handed out candy while we walked around with Whitman and Jason. We hit all the loops and made it back in a little bit over an hour. Whiman's bag probably weighed 8 pounds-he wasn't eating on it too much earlier, but right now I can hear him going to town on his candy.

When we came back from the loops, Whitman went in a had himself a warm shower while Robby and I ate some taco soup with the Wilsons as we handed out the rest of the candy. Around 8 we started to pick up and after a short walk, we are already in the camper and snug in the bed by 9. The rain is just beginning, and there is nothing better than sleeping with it lightly raining in this camper.
