M+M Daily Favs 10.11

MN=playing with our friends
MR=going to the big apple

We spent today recovering from the wedding, enjoying a favorite fall activity from my childhood, and seeing old friends... It was a gorgeous fall day in New England (the kind it is famous for), and we tried to take advantage of it by visiting the Big Apple in Wrentham, MA with Amy, Paul, PS, and my mom. We made the same trip last year before leaving for Juneau, but the weather today was much nicer! We took the tractor ride, watched apples being sorted, and bought popcorn, donuts, apples, and pies. My parents took Amy, Mike and i here every year when we were kids and we have tons of fond memories... Now we are making more!

I have no pictures from our afternoon with friends... I was too busy talking! Friends of ours from college came with their kiddos for an afternoon bbq... One family brought a yummy pie and the most delicious cider donuts i have ever eaten, the other family brought their famous potato dish - yum! We let the kids run around inside and out, and had a fabulous time eating, drinking, and catching up. I had so much fun, but at the end of the night i realized that 2 weeks was not enough time to catch up and see everyone that i wanted to during our trip. I guess there is never enough time for the ones that you love... I hope you all will come visit! :)


As we were buckling the kids in their car seats for the ride home from the Big Apple, a sweet little voice uttered the following...

MR=Hi Pumpkin! What do you feel like doing today? Would you like to get carved?
