This post is written about a month late but I guess better late than never. Fall is such a beautiful time of the year. Living in the mountain we get to truly enjoy all of the changing colors. It's beautiful to drive from our house into Charlottesville.
This year for Halloween we, Landon and I were able to make a visit to Knoxville. Travis had a work trip to Florida and after that was working long hours along with everyone else he works with. Though we don't make a huge deal out of Halloween we did go to boo at the zoo with my friend Melani and her little girl, my mom, and sister. Landon's costume was a little skunk. It's amazing what you can dress your kids up as before they are old enough to know better. It was a nice day and we were even able to ride a camel. The best part was the Crispy Cream Donut at the end...YUM YUM!!
On Halloween morning Landon and I carved a pumpkin. This was the first year we tried it. I was interested in seeing if he would be willing to play with the guts and stick his hand inside. After a little "encouragement" he touched the seeds and at least half way put his hand inside. He was more interested in the fact that the pumpkin ended up with eyes, nose, and mouth. He loved putting his fingers in the eyes and mouth.
On Halloween night we went to our friends Jill and Ken Shinlever's to help pass out candy. It is just crazy how many kids that come into their neighborhood for candy. Ken and Jill had 5 gallon tubs to keep the candy in to hand out, now that's a lot of candy. It really is a fun time just to hang out with old friends and have a little fun.
This is Landon and Anna, Ken and Jill's little girl.
