Photos from Phones - October 2015 Round Up

Apple crisp October day . . . Oh, October.  One of my favorite months.  Here are tons and tons and tons of pics to go along with the posts I already made for this month about all our Halloweening activities and our family reunion with the Elwoods.  Apparently my over-photographing-my-cute-kid syndrome only doubled by adding a baby to the mix.  Double the pleasure, double the fun!  (Just know, this is the pared down version - you should see my phone!)

drive into Huntsville to the library each week. I finally did it
when the leaves were past their peak, but there is some snow
up on the peaks above Snowbasin, so there's that.)
