Halloween Parade

The Peanut was a hit!
Everybody cracked up - several strangers even took pictures.

Every year our town has a Halloween parade and they let the kids walk in it at the beginning. It rained a little bit but it was still a good time. There were marching bands, lame local floats, too many politicians, Shriners in tiny race cars, and Salvadoran dance groups.

Apple Pickin'

Well, it's turned into something of a tradition with us. If it's October, then we're out at Stribling Orchards in Markhan, VA. Everyone had a great time as usual. You can't tell from the pictures, but the drought must have hit the fruit industry pretty hard. There were very few apples on the trees. Still, we got enough for a couple of pies, turnovers, and apple pancakes. Upside of the drought: we didn't get rained on!
