Today we walked Oak Grove Lake Park as a family and the kids got to run through the changing leaves.

Kayaking the Elizabeth River
Today we took the kayak to the Great Bridge Lock Park to use the kayak launch there. I got to kayak 2.2 miles of the Elizabeth River before turning back to do a shorter ride with Brooke. She loves the kayak and putting her hands in the water while I paddle.
Lake Lawson/Lake Smith Running Recon
This morning I did another running recon of Lake Lawson/Lake Smith Natural Area. Virginia Beach added this park recently to a wooded area that surrounds two lakes. This one had beautiful really well maintained trails and a large playground. We will definitely be bringing both the kiddos to hike and play here soon!
Halloween
We had a fun and eventful Halloween this year. Brooke, AJ, and I carved pumpkins while Alex napped. Then we all got dressed up for Halloween. We make a pretty cute quartet of Oz characters. Fun Fact: my costume is homemade- first garment I’ve ever sewed. We all had a great time trick-or-treating in our wonderful neighborhood and even Alex stole away his first piece of candy. After getting Alex to bed, Brooke got to run and play with the neighbors in the street (us watching her of course), and AJ and I enjoyed a fire in our driveway with the rest of the neighbors who always have a block party on Halloween.
