What's happening in my world…
Middle Prong Trail
We had a great time hiking the Middle Prong Trail, which follows the Middle Prong Branch. This is the first of the many water falls a long the trail.
We even saw an abandon car dating from maybe the 1930’s or earlier.

Karen decided to give the child carrier a try on the trail back from the Walker Sisters’ House.
She moaned a little, but she was a trooper. She said she appreciated me more after trying the carrier.
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.

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.
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.
My first beer pairing dinner was very enjoyable this weekend. Karen helped out so much.
Here are the trout after being just put on the Big Green Egg cooker to be smoked. They turned out very tasty, but I wish they had been 100% bone free.
The Rotisserie Chicken Salad was very flavorful, but I made too much. Karen and I really loved the vinaigrette that I made for the salad.
The raspberry crisp was awesome. I am looking forward to making more of them especially with all of the apples around the here.
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”.
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.

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.
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.
