While in Atlanta we visited with my brother and his family. They have opened an ice skating rink down the street from them so we took the kids for the day. Here is Timmy skating with Aunt Andi…

The girls didn’t cooperate for pictures…. sorry!
This fall we drove from PA back down to GA in time for the Fall CV3 Camping Trip. This year it was held st Stone Mountain and included a day at the high ropes course. Here is a picture of the front of the course…
The morning consisted of team building games. I’m still not sure why he had to stand around blindfolded…
After lunch everyone went through the ropes course. It is like a big erector set that you are strapped into. I thought this would make it so I could do it… I was wrong! I made it across two boards and froze! Oh well… the course has three levels: 10ft, 20ft, and 30ft. All three of my kids made it on all three levels. They are too young for fear. Samantha was scared a couple of times but she worked through it. Here is a picture of Nathan with Joshua…
Another of Nathan with Joshua…
Timmy and Josh needed to have an adult with them because they couldn’t get their ropes into the tracks without help. Throughout the course you go to a challenge and are given two tracks that you can go to, one easier, one more difficult. Then you have a platform and then another challenge with two choices.
Here is a picture of Samantha…
Timmy on the course…
The next day the whole company hiked up and then back down Stone Mountain…
We celebrated Halloween at Shenango this year. We were still in PA for the actual Halloween so this was the only celebration of the holiday that the kids got. Of course the kids wanted to enter the costume contest again but we didn’t win this year. I guess we need to change our costumes. Here is Samantha with her friend Courtney…
Joshua dressed as Captain Hook…
Timmy dressed as Prince Caspian…
A picture of Nathan’s haircut. We shaved scabbards into the beard and left a mohawk in the middle…

And the last picture is of two birds on a log on the river… I just liked it!…
I really liked this picture of Josh walking towards the Capitol…
And a picture of the Capitol building…
We were able to take pictures inside the Capitol but went in very few rooms. Also, our tour guide wouldn’t let us walk around so I don’t have any good pictures from inside.
We walked from the Washington Monument to the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. Nathan laughed that I took a picture of a duck but I loved how this duck was sitting in the falling water from the reflection pool…

A quote from Harry Truman that I liked (I believe this was at the World War II Memorial)…
