This seems hard to believe but on Halloween there was a zoo keeper chasing a monkey who was chasing a banana. They were first spotted in Santa Cruz then again right in front of our house. This picture is proof. As it turns out the banana caught the monkey who was then caught by the zoo keeper. Very cute monkey don't you think? Even if he wouldn't smile for the camera.
Cadel's first Halloween started with a long drive down to Santa Cruz for Mom's first race back in action since Cadel joined us. The race was the annual Surf City Halloween cyclocross race. Race participants included pink dinosaurs, a salmon, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss members, a shark and all other manner of costume. Those were all in the fun race.
When everyone got down to serious business Mom was off! She did very well for only having a baby five months ago. What a trooper. Everyone was very impressed to say the least. Scarlett came with us as well and kept Cadel and Dad company while Mom was doing her thing with her teammates. Only a few more years and cadel can race in the kids fun race. Yay!
The drive back was long and hot. We made one ill advised stop but did manage to get back home just in time for the tail end of the neighborhood Halloween party. Too bad we missed most of it but there is always next year. Cadel called it a night a little early on his first Halloween. Unfortunately this maybe the only Halloween where Cadel won't be eating candy and bouncing off the walls for days afterward. But isn't that half the fun....
