October 2014 Odds & Ends

October was a great month- always a favorite! Here are some pictures that don't belong to any other October post.

Lots of fun in the soft playroom!

Then a little pizza with friends - yum!

During my leave, Mike was kind enough to watch Jovie for the day while I went back to Shenandoah for a day alone.

I started by stopping at our favorite apple place- Lee's. Cheap, delicious, and I bought a LOT for applesauce making. It's a beautiful orchard/farm.

Then I went on to Shenandoah. It was a great day of taking in the beautiful views, hiking and just being alone with God.

The main trail I did during the day is Bearfence Trail. It's one we've wanted to do for a while, and we can't really do it with Jovie. There are lots of rock scrambles, and it's fantastic. I tried to take some pictures to capture the rock scrambles and the views, but it's always difficult to capture the full magnitude.
