A New England Fall

I love autumn where I grew up. After years of hoping we finally made it back to see the fall leaves. And unexpectedly we even saw a few snow flurries.

We covered a lot of ground: Sharon and Burlington VT,

The Adirondacks

Palmyra NY,

Niagara Falls

Sturbridge Village (a colonial village in central Mass)

and my hometown near the Holyoke range

Evan loved playing in the leaves and carving pumpkins

Jon & Jane joined as well. Thanks Grandparents for having fun with us.

Pumpkin Patch

We took Evan to a local pumpkin patch this weekend. It was a little sad compared to what I am used to back east. But we still had a good time. Maybe we'll be able to make it to a real pumpkin patch when we go back east for our fall vaca.

They had this rock wall at the playground where the pumpkin patch was held. Evan loves to climb rock walls! He isn't much of a climber at home (sigh of relief) but wherever there is a rock wall he runs right to it. I am sure we'll have a lot of fun with this as a family when he gets older : ) It's so fun to see what your kids are drawn to as their personalities emerge.

Thanks, Grandpa!
