All Dressed Up

We only had one tie for four boys and Justin got the shortest straw.

Justin (7 1/2)

Joshua (11 - aaaalmost 12)

Caleb (a very cool 10 and 1/4)

Apple Orchard Trail

I swear I wasn't trying trying to make them look like the Hatfield's and McCoy's.

The campfire was a really nice place to hang out since night time temps got down in the 40's.  EEeeeek

Caleb loves to sport the backpack, even though it was only about a 1/4 mile hike to the campsite.

The family was pretty tuckered by the time we got to the top of Apple Orchard Mountain.

Beach Mountain

18 Degrees at the top of Beach Mountain. Note in the picture above that both Joshua and Caleb were so excited to get out and enjoy the day that they forgot to put their coat on. Smart as they are, they didn't take long to realize something was wrong.

3 Musketeers

All for one and one for all!


This year, after renting the 3 Musketeers movie, costums were an easy decision. A few felt baby blankets, a scissors and a trip to the Dollar Store for hats and swords, left us with three fine looking Musketeers for under $15.00. Can't beat that.

This Old House and the 3 Banditos

October 11 was Lisa's birthday (29 again), so we packed up and headed to the mountains. This old house belongs to a friend of ours who let us use it when we like. It is as old as it looks with no heat and lots of character. (Click to enlarge photots)
