Fall is Here!

We are enjoying a quiet weekend here in Connecticut. The trees are all starting to change and we are having some excellent fall weather. Next week, from Wednesday to Saturday, we are going to Minnesota since Shannon has a conference to attend and the whole family is coming along. I am looking forward to what will hopefully be a nice break from work hanging out with Millie for a few days. We will be close to the Mall of America and since we are going to be in what I imagine is not a tropical location, that is probably where will be spending a lot of time while Mommy is getting some new knowledge!

So we spent part of the weekend getting some errands run and getting ready for Millie's big first birthday (Only 2 weeks away!) With Fall comes fall festivals, and we took some time out to go to a pumpkin festival at a nearby farm where we got to make a scarecrow, drink some hot apple cider, and even pick out a pumpkin - all for free! Sweet! Millie enjoyed strolling around and seeing all of the kids and playing with the hay. She mostly wanted to take it OUT of the scarecrow. We didn't plan on taking home a pumpkin but Millie did not want to leave until she picked one out. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out. Millie is sacked out on Mommy's lap and getting ready for another day of family fun tomorrow!
