Douthat State Park, Family Reunion in VA, Lewisburg W VA visit with Aunt Nancy, HallZooween not, Cincinnati Walks and Luizhou Friendship Froce Sister City dinner

This post covers several trips and events from September thru mid October. 

Douthat State Park and the Allegheny Mountains.

Our cabin at Douthat

Then another trip to Virginia in October for family reunion at John's Uncle Frank and Aunt Sandra's farm.  Here Miss A is watching family fishing.  This is also a good example of how the quality of pictures has declined since she started walking.

 With Uncle Frank and Aunt Sandra.

A picture of the 2nd generation cousins.... Sammy, Ashley, Will, Audrey on Baba's knee and Andrew.

Crashing in the car ... sometimes funny and then

sometimes like an angel.

Shopping in Lewisburg with Aunt Nancy.  Unfortunately I did not take many pictures at the wonderful lunch we had outside at a new restaurant.  The weather was wonderful and we had  lot of fun.

Playing at our neighborhood playground.

The wonderful pictures I take so often these days.

This past Friday John, Audrey and I went to the Zoo because I mistakenly thought Hallzooween included Fridays too.  I was hoping Miss A would want to try her costume if she saw other kids wearing them.  No one was wearing any costumes and all we saw was set up.

 So I just carried her costume.

Yep that is how Miss A was dressed for this visit.

Checking out the plush in the gift shop.

 This past Saturday we participated, along with 8,000 other people, in Cincinnati Walks at Coney Island.  This is a 3 mile walk fundraiser for Children's Hospital.

This International Adoption Center Team.

 That afternoon the 3 of us took another walk around our neighborhood.

Sunday we were ready for church early so we decided to walk up to Bow Tie for a cup of coffee for us and so A could draw and play on their piano. 

 Sunday evening we attended a Friendship Force dinner welcoming guest from Luizhou China.  This dinner was held a Methodist church on the west side of town. We were early and thankfully this church had an entertaining pumpkin patch.

Not a great picture of us but it seems I never have many of the 2 of us.

This pictures shows why Miss A may get a camera of her own for Christmas.

Another not great picture from the Luizhou FF dinner but I did not take many.
