As we step into November, I am thankful for the opportunity to help coach the JV Baseball team at Loveland High with Gene Elder. What started as an offer to throw batting practice, has turned into a rewarding experience of working with and developing the next wave of Red Wolves ballplayers. It's a full-circle moment for me, as I had my dad as a coach throughout my high school baseball career (or as some would say... paybacks!) What are you thankful for this week?

As we get into the Halloween spirit, we can’t help but reminisce about some of our favorite Halloween memories! Lauren has always been the queen of creative costumes over the years.. or some doozies! From Medusa (my fingers are STILL sore from attaching those snakes!) to Si from Duck Dynasty, but our all-time favorite has to be her "Monster Mash" creation. A witch hat, vampire teeth, wolfman arms, and mummy pants—classic!! These days, we love passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters! Even though I try to guess their costumes, I think I’ve officially fallen out of the loop... but it’s always a fun surprise seeing the creative outfits that come to the door! Wishing you all a safe and fun Halloween! What’s your favorite costume memory or trick-or-treat tradition? Share with us below! #HalloweenFun #TrickOrTreat #SpookySeason
