An afternoon in Fox Chapel woods



It's hard to believe, but not
one kid got his shoes wet! I
thought for sure Tristan
would lose his balance!

"Lord of the Flies"?

We weren't actually looking for a
wild pig, but it felt like it!

Things you find on the cemmetary wall.

After walking on the wall across from Meme's house I showed the kids my Uncle Jim's initial he chiseled on the top of the wall way back in 1928. He only got as far as the J before the watchman caught him!

Ever ride a Sphinks?



I don't know whose tomb this is, but the kids sure had fun on it! Then we found Davey Jones's tomb!

More fun in the "cemmy."


Tristan thought this tomb as a bank! Then we
visited Stephen Foster's grave and sang:
"She'll Be Com'in Around the Mountain."

A ride through the Allegheny Cemetary


Go no further than the Allegheny Cemetary to see the leaves in October. Joey and Grammy Farrell gave us lots of stale bread to feed the geese and ducks. We even saw a turtle and baby deer.

A visit to Grammy Farrell's

A visit to Grammy Farrell's is always fun. Joey put them to work making ghosts. You can see them hanging on the tree behind them.
