We are the Arzaga's: October 2010

Halloween on the Chesapeake Bay

Rather than trick or treating door to door, the boys enjoyed Halloween on the Carnival Pride cruise ship

Jacob's Fall Ball Mets

Fall Ball Mets

Jacob tried firsthand playing catcher.

Hey batter, batter, batter...saaa-wing, batter!

Fall Festivities

An annual tradition for the Arzaga family is soaking in the outdoor festivites the autumnal season has to offer.

The boys check out the farm animals at Ticonderoga Farms

The smiles on their faces were well worth the price of admission. Yup, Jacob...it was awesome.

More s'mores, please!

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

Fall Festival

Jacob and his den go camping along with their Cub Scout pack at Prince William National Park. Spy stations, bonfire, Scout songs and skits, made for an enjoyable weekend. We endured a chilly sleepover in a rustic cabin in the forest and managed to perform our pre-dawn breakfast duty for 110 members of the pack and it's famlies... hopefully our arse thaw soon.

Hot cocoas for everyone after the evening's bonfire and flag ceremony.

- Inside our cabin, a WWII spy training facility for the US Army

- Morning revelry
