Back to Hack, Away to Cali

Ezra is off on an adventure to see Aunt, Uncle and cousin in California with Grandma, so blog updating is happening here in MN! I was thinking that I would have a nice long session to pour out my thoughts and recent events, but I just got a phone call that I got a job working at the middle school and have to go in to do a background check. So here's another quicky! Ezra is gone until Sunday so I should have another opportunity to sit down for a spell and tell you all about everything.

A few weekends ago the annual Back to Hack festival happened in Hackensack which includes but is not limited to a huge campfire consisting of everyone's Christmas trees and wreaths (see photos below), people doing the polar plunge, and men dressed like women competing in a beauty pageant. Ezra's favorite part was the fire:
