Happy Halloween from Lucie

Peaks of Otter

Immediately after returning from New York, we went camping with friends at Peaks of Otter, Virginia.


Lucie used a timer to take this picture.


There was an amazing apple tree full of apples. Jacob and Gavin roasted apples in the fire, and Jason made an apple tart. We also ate our share straight off the tree. And we saw deer eating the apples.


"Are we at the 'Balance Rock' yet?"


Some of us got to see a Civil War reenactment. Here some renegade Union soldiers are stealing the Johnson family's hams and cider. You can see Lucie standing there, right in the middle of the action. It was weird. The Confederates swooped in at the last minute to save the day.


Milo played a lot with sticks.

Trip to Brooklyn

We took a trip to Brooklyn to visit our friends Shannon and Erica. It was wonderful. There was a bit of crying when we had to go home. Here are some of the highlights.


Sunrise at RDU. Milo said, "It looks like mango juice."


Can you remember Milo's first flight?
