After arriving, we received a goody box from mom. She made this adorable outfit for Rica to wear for Halloween.
Before going to daycare, Rica had fun playing with her new trick or treat bag (made by mom) and also Dino, her new Loch Ness Monster.
She finally had enough and wanted to head out.
Later that night, she changed into her Bee outfit.
The weekend after Halloween, Keena had arranged for us to head to PA to do some campaigning for Obama. On the Sunday before the election, we drove about 1 1/2 hours to Allentown, PA to help out. Here is a picture of the downtown office (below). When we got there, they said they had too many volunteers and asked us to travel to their new warehouse location. 
After hitting the warehouse, Keena and I were given 79 houses to hit in downtown Allentown to provide polling information to. Here I am holding the clipboard trying to track the houses we needed to hit.
Here is Keena handing out information.
After hitting all the houses, Keena and I had a fun lunch at a local diner and then headed back to the warehouse. They asked us to head to another area outside of Allentown that needed volunteers. It turned out that someone had turned their house into a staging area. From there, Keena and I did another 115 houses. It was an exhausting day.
Besides doing Halloween and campaigning in the States, I also did a lot of shopping. Keena and I went to an outlet mall and Keena found Rica these fabulous boots (below). Only problem....she did not want to take them off!
After spending about a week with the family, I took a train to Boston to run the Coro National Alumni Gathering. Keena joined me for the weekend and she was one of our speakers. Here she is getting ready for her presentation.
Overall, it was a great week home and I am trying to get over jet lag.
