We took a short hike at Valley Forge National Park this afternoon in order to make the minutes until trick-or-treating pass more quickly and to satisfy my intense need to take a fall hike and crunch through leaves. "Hike" isn't entirely accurate description of our trip. We visited the woods, using a wildly variable pace, alternating between plodding and running. Not so much walking. The stopping and starting was slightly maddening since I really just wanted to go for a good HIKE. Regardless of pace, the fresh air was most welcome. After visiting my favorite grove of ancient tulip poplars, we took a few minutes to explore the cannons and log cabins too.

Tomorrow, of course, is the BIG day -- Halloween. As you would expect the kids are rather excited to trick-or-treat (read that: bouncing off the walls). Scott and I are excited to start our evening raids into their Halloween candy bags. There are a lot of things about having three kids that make life kind of challenging, but one definite perk in my book is that we get not one, not two, but
three bags of Halloween candy all to ourselves in the evening. A nibble here, a nibble there, and no one is the wiser. Ha-ha-ha-ha, Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha, HA-HA-HA-HA (read that: mad scientist laughing).
