We attempted to go pumpkin picking at a new farm because our usual one was washed clean from Hurricane Matthew. This farm was as well so we ended up choosing pumpkins from a bin but we at least took a hayride because we drove out.

Cocoa
It was cool enough today to enjoy a little cocoa after quiet time before Alex woke up.
Hurricane Matthew
Hurricane Matthew hit us much harder than was forecasted. We were all safe but we did have flooding (though no long term damage) and lost power. Everything shut down for a few days. I took some pictures of the kids during the power outage as we lit everything with candles for bedtime. Also I was able to get my music to play Taylor Swift with the battery so they were having a kitchen dance party.

Newport News Heritage Festival
We found this gem of a festival and had a great time! It was worth the drive for all the unique cultural performances, crafts, and over 200 vendors. One of my favorite parts was the woodworking area where they gave Brooke and Alex beautiful handmade tops for free.
