Halloween recap 2014

We started out our Halloween fun on Wednesday with Blair's first Girl Scout activity.  Her Daisy troop went to Halloween Hijinks, a fair at a local park.  The girls had a great time.

On Thursday, Will's preschool had trunk-or-treating and he helped me decorate our trunk before school.

Machu Picchu

Here are the best pictures from our Machu Picchu day.  We took the train for 90 minutes to Aguas Caliente, where you catch a bus up the mountain to the ruins.  We had front seats on the train and had a great view!

Our first view of Machu Picchu:

We headed straight to the entrance of the hike for Huana Picchu.  They let a limited number of people climb the mountain each day.  We got permits months ago and so we were ready to go!
