OCTOBER!

We had a fun month including great visits with Papa Ric, Grams + Julia (no photos!), and - of course - Halloween!

VERMONT!

We kicked off October with a weekend trip to the Equinox in Manchester, Vermont. The weather was spectacular and the kids were great travelers, too! And we had the distinct pleasure of more time with the Kantaharas - Leslie & Jamie drove over from Hanover, New Hampshire to spend an afternoon with us!

The Equinox...

And the church across the street...

The farm/nursery where we enjoyed all things autumn...

Like a corn maze...

And a tractor/hay ride...

On the hay ride (with no hay?)...

The September Wrap-Up!

We had a very busy month of adventures to new places. Around the house things were much more low-key, as evidenced by the rather boring and poor quality set of "general"September photos.

The link is below because I feel compelled to keep this blog complete but - really - feel free to skip it and move on to our much more exciting October photos!

NANTUCKET!

In mid-September we took the kids to Nantucket for an overnight

at the Kissam's lovely home. The weather was PERFECT

and we had an excellent trip.

BRIMFIELD!

Right after we got back from NYC, I spent a day at "THE" Brimfield Antique Fair with Leslie & Hanna. Despite the oppressive heat, we had a fun day scouting for random items. It is an incredible event - huge and difficult to navigate - but we learned a lot and can't wait for next year now that we know how it all works.

(Lunch break!)

*many of these photos are Leslie's - thanks Les!
