Fall stay-cation

This week Scott had some time off and we decided to stay home and have some fun here. We took the boys to the movies, we went to a couple of halloween parties and did some fun projects at home. We also went on a few short day trips.

We got to check out the Lexington BBQ festival this year. There were wall to wall people in uptown Lexington celebrating BBQ. They had lots going on with live music on four stages, and the kids loved the juggling/ unicycling/ FIRE EATING show. Definitely the best BBQ we tried was from Smokey Joe's.

We had an awesome trip to Stone Mountain. We have some tough boys, they braved cold temperatures with subfreezing wind chill, and climbed the entire trail to the top of Wolf Rock (elev: 2024 ft.) and back (round trip: 3 miles.) It was a spectacular view, and worth the climb!

We went letterboxing around Salem Lake. (This is like a treasure hunt but you're looking for hidden stamps and then you bring your own stamp to leave your mark.) We found three of the four stamps we were looking for. It's actually quite exciting when you find one. Even Spencer liked the search.
