Halloween at the Beach...and the Mountains

Sarah and I went to the mountains in Bryson City, NC to help Nana celebrate her birthday. It was an all girl's weekend full of adventure. Our first adventure was getting to the mountain house. It was a pretty steep climb on a one lane gravel road to the top of the mountain. Once we made it up there, we said we weren't leaving and we didn't! On Sunday we mustered up some courage and headed back down the mountain which proved to be a little less of an adventure until we took a wrong turn and Emily ended up driving back up the mountain in reverse until we could get turned around. She's a lot braver than I am! We headed to the train depot for the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad where we rode the train to the Nantahala Gorge. We got off the train right by the river and had a yummy picnic lunch on some rocks. The train took us back to the station where we got back in our cars and began the trip back home. I didn't get any pictures of Sarah's first trip out of town because I let Kevin take the camera to get pictures of the boys trick or treating.

While Sarah and I were adventuring in the mountains, Kevin took the boys to the beach to visit his parents. The campground Jan and Jacky live at had some Halloween activities and trick or treating for the kids.

I can't believe Adam actually put his costume back on.

Snacks with Daddy... A Krispy Kreme pumpkin doughnut.

Yes, Jackson and Adam have swimsuits on and are playing at the beach on November 1. It was 80 degrees that day!
