We are out hiking to the Walker Sisters’ House.
The weather is nice with blue skies and cool air. The leaves are crunching under foot.

Meigs Falls
Our first water fall of the day as we drive towards the Metcalf area to hike in Little Greenbrier.
It is Meigs Fall, which is viewable from the road.
Relaxing in Smoky Mountains
Karen and Katie Beth are already relaxing in the hot tub.
The weather is wonderful with blue skys.
The hot tub is getting them ready for hiking all day tomorrow.
Ready for Galaxy of Lights
Katie Beth and Jameson are ready for the Galaxy of Lights. Jameson has on a cute dress tonight.
The weather is great tonight.
Karen and I enjoyed chatting with Jessica and Jeff while strolling with the girls through the lights. The girls got to visit with Santa Claus, too.
I hope some of the pictures turned out. I will post them later at http://www.theallens.info/photos/. Remember, the username and password are “friends” and “photos”.
Our Princess is Ready
Here Katie Beth is ready for Halloween.
She had a great time tonight. She topped it off with sleeping on the top bunk after getting to eat a few pieces of candy.
You can see all of tonight’s pictures here.

Lo Cain’s Number One Fan
Katie Beth is such a fan of Lorenzo Cain (Lo Cain) of the Brewers and a former Huntsville Stars player. Steve and Allison Tofflemire surprised Katie Beth tonight with her very own Lo Cain shirt. This is a one of kind shirt that Allison and Steve had made. Lo Cain is the nickname that the players called Lorenzo Cain in Huntsville. The Huntsville fans started calling him this and it stuck, but the major league fans don’t really know him by this nickname.
Tonight, we all gathered to watch the second game of the world series and Allison and Steve couldn’t resist the opportunity to give Katie Beth this wonderful gift. Karen and I didn’t even know about the gift.
Even before going over to their home, Katie Beth was assuming that we would be seeing Lo Cain playing baseball so she started chanting, “Go Lo Cain!”
Thanks, Allison and Steve.
Home from the Great Smoky Mountains
We had a great time taking Katie Beth to the Smoky Mountains for her first time. The hiking was wonderful with all of the fall colors. We enjoyed our time to relax little, too.

Mom’s Walking Stick
Katie Beth picked a walking stick for Mommy. Just her size. She carried it for Mommy a long way. We left it for the next Mommy to use.
Laurel Falls Trail and Beyond
We had a great hike to Laurel Falls and beyond. The fall was flowing with minimal water given the season. We made good progress with Katie Beth staying in her carrier until we reached the falls.
The high light of the hike was the virgin forest beyond the falls. We found a hollow log and Katie Beth climbed inside and laid down. We found a tree with base open to the other side so Katie Beth could climb through the middle of the tree.
We missed seeing the bear that had been hanging around the trail, but a lot of other people had seen it. A gentleman showed us his picture of walk up on a black bear on the same trail during the previous week. His first photo has shaky from being surprised.
On the Abrams Fall Trail
We have checked out the creek anytime we got close, which is running really well today for the season. Katie Beth loved walking into the creek on the rocks. But, she still has little to no appreciation for the moss on the wet rocks. We got some good shots with the camera I hope.
Hopefully, we will make it to the falls, but we are moving slowly with frequent snacks and diversions. Katie Beth could be one of the dog in the movie UP. Squirrel!
