HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!!!
Today in school, my students participated in our primary election for our Candy Election. It's the Chocolate against the Fruit/Chewy candy. We made a list of all the types of candy that falls under that category and then voted on one from each. And the winner is......
Kit-Kat vs. Starburst!!
It was a great activity for Halloween! Students will write speeches as to why their choice of candy wins! I will share with you the final results!
Sometimes, teaching can be so fun!!

Ghetto Bedford
For the last 3 years, my family has gone to Bedford, PA to stay in a cabin. The first year we celebrated my dad's 50th birthday, second year was my mom's 50th birthday, and this year was my sister's 30th birthday! We went this weekend and had so much fun! I call this blog "Ghetto Bedford" as an inside joke about my dad's reaction when we found out we were going there for his 50th birthday.
Since when we go it is someone's milestone birthday, we create a PowerPoint slideshow of their life. It was my turn to make Kara's slideshow and I am so proud of myself because I did it! I have never done a PowerPoint slideshow before, so I was quite impressed with myself (there was even music in it!).
Some things that we do in Bedford, is see the windmills, Gravity Hill (Google it), shopping, have bonfires, and drink. This year was really no different. We went to the Johnstown Flood Memorial, drank Sam Adams Octoberfest out of a pumpkin keg, Kara and I sang and danced to New Kids on the Block, did some antiquing, played "Name that Tune 80s Style", created Bendaroos, drank, had a bonefire, grilled out, and drank some more. One of the best part about Bedford, besides the breath-taking view, is that we always come home with delicious Delmonico steaks. :)
It was a nice relaxing few days away from work. Here are a few pics from my mini-vacation.

| The amazing view from the deck! I watched the sunrise twice- no photo could ever capture its true beauty! |

| The windmills on our way in. This was a cluster of them by the road. I like the rustic meets modern look of this picture. |
