Halloween, it brings out the creepiest people…

and this year it brought us the creepiest grandparents, Nana and Grampa Holt. Here they are sneaking up on Noah as we took a family stroll through Prospect Park.

Just a leisurely stroll.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Not all of the raptors were so vicious looking.

This guy won. He could have peddled that cinderblock to those mountains.

Skunk Hot Dog for lunch! What’s not to like.

The trailhead we were trying to find the day before was super easy to find, when I knew where to look.

Nature is amazing. When this tree fell over it picked up the boulder it had grown around. How long until that boulder falls to the ground as the tree decomposes?

140828_27394

“Just keep climbing!”

Over it.

Noah was trying to head back down almost as soon as we got to the top. He was cold so I told him to take shelter in the trees while I took a couple of photos.

It only “looks” like he turned to stone.

While we were in NH, back in August, we had lunch…

New Hampshire

geared up…

and went for a hike.

Like life, the path wasn’t clear.

But there was cool stuff along the way.

Then your family decides they don’t want to follow you up a grown-in logging road anymore.

“It was still fun right guys!?!”

“Right?”
