October!

We ran the Wicked 10K as a family this year and it did not disappoint!  We dressed up as Merida and the triplet bears.  People thought we were Goldilocks, even though Kate was wearing a curly red wig! Oh well :)  It was a ton of fun - it's the best race around here because so many people dress up and run/walk, there is always so much to look at!  

We then loaded into the car and headed up to Big Meadows.  Our annual family camping trip was cancelled this year, thanks to the government shut down, and we really missed our time, not only in the cold mountain air, but at Big Meadows.  So we drove up, spent a few hours there, then headed back down the mountain and spent the night in Charlottesville.  The next morning we hiked around some and then went to Carter Mountain to pick apples!  It was a jam packed weekend, but was one of the best we had enjoyed in a while.
