Look Hokieville faithful! A lost post from March of this year! What a treat! Enjoy :)
Hey Hokieville followers. Hope I haven't lost you all by now. I have been thinking about doing a Hokieville post lately BUT what did I have to talk about? My camera has been acting shady, I couldn't find contraption that gets my pictures from my camera to my computer, etc. This weekend, however, I FOUND the contraption that gets my pictures from my camera to my computer and upon looking on some of the pictures on the camera, I have plenty to post about. So lets go waaaay back. Back to Judy and John's visit back in...October maybe? We took them to the local (well local-ish) safari park, where you drive your car through and check out all the exotic animals. And you feed them. And they love it. And my camera was dying when it all went down, but here is what I captured.
Zebra in the road. Judy getting a little information from a handout.
Some sort of deer or something with ridiculous antlers.
Another sort of deer, eating from our car.
They had a tiny zoo at the safari park too. Here is a monkey mom, with here monkey baby clinging to her stomach. The baby was about three days old wen we saw it.
So next, Ian and I hiked up the Appalachian trail to an area called McAfee's Knob. They say that McAfee's Knob is the most photographed spot along the trail. It was the first and only time when have been there. It is about 4 miles from trail head to the outlook point. It was really pretty, we'd be glad to take you there sometime. It was a pretty difficult climb, if I can remember all the way back then.

The view. You could see for MILES!

There was the one weekend that we decided to be swanky and cultured and go to the Taubman Art Museum in Roanoke. It is a tiny museum that hosts a few different rotating exhibits, and a small permanent exhibit. It was a good experience, but its such a small museum we enjoyed ourselves all the same.
How about the time we had Thanksgiving dinner all by ourselves in Hokievillle? It was a good meal.
Put down the camera! Let's eat!

And lastly, some pictures from a hit we went on at the Cascades even though it was winter and icy and snowy. That's fine, we had our safety hiking poles.
Looking bored of the camera.
Looking pretty sturdy on the snow.
Frozen water every where.
Including the falls.
Happy I didn't fall. I don't think Ian could say he had the same luck.
