Autumn in New England

Well, it is that time of year again. My very favorite time of year. Autumn. We have been busy the past few weekends doing some fallish things.

We have visited an apple orchard. Not that we actually pick apples. No, no, no. Not yet. Maybe when the kids are older. Our trip usually involves seeing the animals like this enormous pig. It was seriously the size of a small cow.

We also take a tractor-pulled hayride, visit the store for cider donuts and caramel apples, and check out the pumpkins. (Look at Gavin in the background looking for ants).

And I also took the opportunity to try and get a picture of the three of them with a nice scenic backdrop. No such luck.
Another weekend we visited a pumpkin festival in Maine in the town where we vacation in the summer. It was really fun. They had pumpkin rolling, three-legged races, stuff your own scarecrow and lots of yummy food and baked goods. Aidan went on his second pony ride of his life. He loves the ponies!

The boys got to pick out their own pumpkins and then paint them.

And Ciara got to roam free which she loves.
