Halloween

Halloween brought the inaugural Tivoli Lane Haunted Forest. The neighbors went all out with the planning & decorations. We were lucky enough to have Alline and Erica in the area visiting to join us. Mel and Scott went all out with the party afterwards.

The neighborhood kids show off their outfits.

Pizza Night

The Cote-Nances hosted Pizza Night in October - and there was a quick celebration for Audrey's birthday. Cupcakes for everyone!
















The candles are lit and the singing begins.

Pumpkin Patch

As Halloween was fast approaching, Cote took Alex, Lily, and Morgan (Alex's friend) to a local pumpkin patch for some fall fun.

















Lily hangs out with the flowers.






















Lily finds a horsey to ride.

Yeee Haw!

Marine Corps Marathon

Joe ran the Marine Corps Marathon in late October. The weather was almost perfect - the day started out cool with cloud cover, but towards the end of the race the sun broke through and warmed up the course considerably.

Around mile 18.

Happy time.

October Misc.

Two quick miscellaneous pictures for October.

Bar Harbor

To celebrate the 40th birthday for two of our good friends (Dave & Lisa Colangelo) - a group headed to Bar Harbor for an extended weekend, sans kids. The place was magnificent, and the company wasn't half bad either.

Time for the bike ride on the carriage roads.
