Halloween

 Halloween Started out with an Egg Hunt with some of our neighbors. The leaves hid some of the eggs more than I thought and we had trouble finding some! But the kids loved it!




Later, Mike and Becca had a Halloween party at their house, including a Haunted Trail that Hallie loved and Justin didn't.


I got Jason to dress up as Marty McFly, I was an 80's girl, Hallie was Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter and Justin was Miles from the Spider-verse. This probably the first year we bought actual costumes for the kids! 






The kids in the recycling bin....


The kids love to ride their scooters at PawPaw and Karen's!


I had a Facebook memory a few or so ago about the Playground being built!
The kids have loved it (since we had to put the swimming pool up!)
Justin is starting to pump his legs!

From Ocean fishing to Corn Maze!

On October 1st, Jason, Lee, and Dean had the opportunity to go to the beach and
do some fishing for 30+lbs catches! 













Drum concert by Justin!


 
Playing in the rain on a nasty weekend! At least they had fun!





Carved pumpkins 









We went to the Alpha and Omega farm on October 24th with Karen, Dean, Lee, Der and Sydney....
very beautiful and almost summer like day for awhile!

The Hay Maze





Train ride!



They're favorite thing is the corn box!
They were jumping in and covering themselves!




Horse wagon ride around the corn maze.
We actually got through the corn maze this time instead of using the emergency exit.

Enjoying Fall!

I ordered a Spiderman costume for Justin since I had
ordered a Harry Potter cloak for Hallie's costume...


Jason and I went kayaking on the New River on September 20th
with Lee, Der, Dean and Karen. It was lovely!




Hallie is enjoying reading these Dog Man books!


We love Just Dance....this one is to Waka-Waka!
 

Justin driving the tractor!


They enjoyed the zip line too at Nana & Papas!
It was Justin's first time doing it!




A few pics from Sydney's 2nd birthday!




We went to the Greenway on Sunday, September 27th.
It's the longest Justin has riden his bike and he did well for about 3/4

Virginia Creeper

On Sunday, September 6th, we did the Virginia Creeper Trail with Lee, Der, Sydney, Mike, Becca, Dean, Karen, and Matthew!

17 MILES from Whitetop Mountain to Damascus!

The kids had a blast!  Hallie rode her own bike and loved it! Justin rode in the buggy (aka chariot)  and loved the bumps!  Neither of them complained- Justin didn't want to stop and kept asking us when we were going to start riding again when we were eating lunch!

My right elbow/shoulder didn't enjoy how bumpy it could be so I was mainly in the back and didn't get to see them....but it was beautiful forest and there were lots of bridges over creek water we rode over. It used to be a railroad track and I'm sure it was a lovely ride on a train too!

I even saw this huge beaver dam (but no pic, I didn't have my phone on me)!

At the place where we rented the bikes.

After our shuttle van, we arrived at Whitetop Mountain/Mt Rogers for the Adventure!


Where we stopped for lunch about 2/3 of the way down.


Random pics from the trip!

















A video Jason took!




The night before we celebrated Hallie's birthday some more....with a pinata!
