Carlee was a good sport about trying on her Halloween costume. We'll see how she does on the big night. This year's pumpkin carving looks to be a vampire. We'll tackle that in a couple of weeks.

Apple picking and a fair

Denise joined us for some apple picking on an early fall day. Previous to this adventure we attended the Bluemont country fair and had some good BBQ for lunch.

At the Nats game

On Sunday we enjoyed a picture perfect day at the new Washington Nationals park. We had seats just to the first base side of homeplate, good and close to the action. Oh and the Nats beat the Reds 4-2!

Here are a few pics from the day.
