Halloween Dress Rehearsal etc.

 Last weekend, we took advantage of a beautiful fall day and a visit from Meme and Pa by spending the afternoon at Gibb's Gardens.  

 We enjoyed all the fall color and the photo ops, plus Avery made a new friend and Pa went home with two new trees!

We've spent most of our month getting ready for Halloween, a holiday I've loved ever since celebrating it as an "adult" on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill.  Avery has been especially excited about Halloween this year and, after much indecisiveness, decided to dress as Scooby Doo.    Obviously this was my Halloween dream come true, so I couldn't resist joining in on the fun!   We had an opportunity to show off our costumes at Canton's Great Pumpkin Festival Saturday afternoon.   Avery got lots of attention as Scooby Doo and can't wait to wear her costume again on the 31st to trick-or-treat!   Happy Halloween!
