Small World Expansion!
The Small World expansion definitely enhances the game.
The remnants of Hurricane Sandy pushed through our area and caused major problems, although nothing like the East Coast.
'Our' creek was pretty full.
As expected, the Cuyahoga River was trying to flow over the road instead of under the bridge on Vaughn.
No, that's not Lisa's car, thank goodness.
So we went around through Boston Mills to get to Marc's.
We played Small World on Halloween night, instead of trick-or-treating. It had been postponed
by Brecksville to Sunday night, due to power outages, flooding, and general nasty weather.
Lisa took us out to try something new.
Very entertaining.
Also tasty.
Laurie and Rudy hosted a gathering to celebrate both Joe's and Grandpa's birthdays.
We went for a hike along the towpath near Peninsula. Lisa lined up a group shot.
We spotted an interesting rock right by the parking lot.
Just full of fossils.
Lisa inspects the canal lock.
Blocks on the lock wall -- on the left, you can see the mason's marking.
Peninsula, as seen from the towpath bridge.
The river rushing downstream from Peninsula.
The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad train.
Oh look -- a squirrel!
This home in Peninsula had quite a collection.

Lisa and Glen found an indoor mini-golf course at a local mall.
(The boys weren't available -- it was a school day.)
Then they indulged in icecream.
Lisa and Alan carve pumpkins.
Lisa made delicious roasted pumpkin seeds.

Neat effects with color-changing led lights.

Alan added an inscription on the back of his pumpkin.
