Halloween weekend we went to Stockton to check up on our Townsend Limbs.  On our return home we did a detour through Peoria to see the bewitching play, "Wicked".  The grandkids dressed up in costumes to go "trick or treating" in their neighborhoods. 

                                                             

                                              

On Friday evening we gathered at Beaches for dinner to observe Grandma Jones and my birthday. 

Dana, Kyle, Tom, Jack, Grandma, Elaine, Me, Janet, and Brandt.  After dinner we had a tour of Dana and Brandt's new home.

Grandma Jones, Jerry, and Aunt Irma Lee

Grandma had some malignant skin cells removed from her face, but is healing well.

I had heard so much about "Wicked" (many have seen it several times), and I wanted to see it.  It wasn't what I expected, but a play, based somewhat on the "Wiard of Oz", worth seeing.

Deven dressed as Sarah from "Horseland", and Kenna is "Cheer Bear".

John dressed as a "manical ILLINI fan", Kathleen is a "nerd", and Gracie is a witch.

The Sampson's jack-o-lanterns.

Tiggie May dressed as a "cheshire cat".

Will as "Harry Potter", Claire as "Fancy Nancy", and Jakey as "Buzz Lightyear".

Georgie dressed as the grim reaper, Caelin as a 70's disco chick, and Mariah is a vampire princess.
