New kayak and fall pics

Not a scary Halloween photo of Aaron in a coffin. I found him this way in the backyard one day. He was actually blowing up the new inflatable kayak I had gotten him for his birthday. Looks like he likes it.

Success! This one is so much more convenient than our hard one. Blows up in a jiffy and I don't have to help Aaron heft it on top of the jeep.

We sure are enjoying this river/lake by the house. We timed it - 3 minutes away! It has added so much quality to our lives. Such a great place for a quick get away or an afternoon or picnic. Can't beat the sunsets.

Here we are in Asheville with my parents. It is so nice to be able to see them so easily now. We can each drive 4 hours and meet in the mountains. It was so gorgeous that weekend - so cool in the mornings and warmer in the afternoon. I wish we had taken more pics, especially since we took them on the river. They did great and had a wonderful time. I just wish you all could see mom in a wetsuit and dad in his "baked potato" windsuit he has taken to wearing. Aside from mom bonking herself in the head the last 20 feet of the river, it was without incident.

A trip to NC Arboretum in Asheville. Gorgeous this time of year. Enjoyed the fall color.

A beautiful native grass of North Carolina that turns a gorgeous, fuzzy pink this time of year.
