New England Falls

New England falls are seriously wonderful. The weather is warm and pleasant, the colors are amazing and there are a ton of farms and venues to spend time at. A few weeks ago we ventured to a corn maze and small farm north of us for the festivities.


Racing rubber ducks
One of the only times we get them to to actually sit together.
They both use the bounce pillow in different ways.
On the home stretch of the corn maze-- after our double melt down and recovery. Louis thought we were looking for dinosaurs.
Elsie would have been happy to stay here almost the entire day. There is something about filling up and emptying things that just really makes her happy.
Twenty nine weeks pregnant and chillin on the hayride. Sad that this is basically the only picture of me in the last two months- I like being behind the lens.
Shooting the apple gun. The target was a pirate ship, but Louis wanted to aim at the ducks.
Unfortunately these are the faces we get out of Elsie most of the time. Lately her attitude has changed... and not for the better. We're entering that lovely phase where she knows what she wants, but doesn't know how to communicate it.
Luckily, she still loves her Dad to death and will follow him mostly anywhere he goes.
