We were bored one Saturday. Wilson noticed this unoccupied, yet perfectly Ace-sized box. He decorated it and drew a steering wheel inside and well--you can guess what it became. Ace LOVED riding around in his *kart.* From the videos (if you listen closely) you will notice that it was a little easier for Wilson to push Alton around than it was for Maisy!

Get Scared for a Great Cause

As you may know, we are taking a group of Spanish students to Peru next spring. For our major fundraiser, we are putting on a HAUNTED HOUSE for three weekends this month. So come get scared for a really good cause! We have a few students in our group that will not be able to go on the trip unless they are fully funded (and the trip is pretty expensive). So come help us out!



The Melissa Fire Station is the spookiest place in town this month! The haunted house is on the second floor of the fire station. We opened October 17 (last night at the time of this typing), and have seven nights left of scaring, Oct 18, 23-25, 30-31, and Nov. 1. Tickets are $6 in advance (buy them from us! Call us and we'll get you some) or $20 per family. If you buy the tickets at the door they are $8 or $25 per family.

"Rescue Randy" has volunteered his time to the haunted house. We thank you, Rescue Randy. Come see him at his best!


It doesn't get any scarier than this.

If you want to see an article about the haunted house in the McKinney Courier Gazette, click this link.

If you've made it all the way to the end of this post, you've qualified for a special spook deal! When purchasing advance tickets, mention password "Gustavo" and we'll take a dollar off the ticket price. It's a special deal exclusively for "The Good Life" blog readers. Don't say we never did anything for you.

So come to the haunted house, and spread the word to your friends! Come get scared for a great cause!

By the way, if you're too far away to come to the haunted house but would like to make a donation to our cause, you can contact me at brettgustaveson@yahoo.com, and I'll let you know how you or your business can make a tax deductible donation!
