We have been trying to get out and enjoy our last fall in Vermont before the baby comes. Fall is my favorite season in Vermont. It is usually pretty nice weather, very few bugs, lots to do, and beautiful leaves. We have traveled around a lot since we have been here but I found a lot of neat mini hikes and waterfalls that I thought would be fun to visit with the fall leaves. I made a list of thes places I want to go in Vermont before we leave, so every Saturday until the baby is born we have been picking one of these spots to go and have a picnic or a little walk. A couple of Saturdays ago we went to some waterfalls called the Potholes. It was a very short walk and raining, but really pretty.
Joshua stood and threw rocks in the water for a long time.
Here he is trying to get a big rock. Notice the tongue out. One of my talents is being able to touch my tongue to my nose. Joshua inherited my extraordinarily long tongue, and Caleb and I both have a habit of sticking our tongue out when ever we are concentrating. So between being too long for his mouth and concentrating a lot Joshua's tongue is showing a lot.
He is very excited about his rock throwing.
My big tummy...and still growing. Yes I am sick of people asking me when I am going to pop, if I feel like I am going to fall over all the time, if I was due last week, if I am having twins...and anything else of the sort. I think I become extra sensitive to all the comments since I pop out so far and so fast that people start making those comments at about 22 weeks. I have cut down my public exposure...
Last Saturday we had a picnic on top of Mt. Philo. No, I did not hike. It's a mountain in name only (at least by western standards), so you can drive all the way to the top, and then hike around from there. It was a beautiful fall day and a great view.
Joshua has loves to ride Daddy like a horse. He has gotten very bonded to Caleb lately. Every morning he wakes up and asks "Where did daddy go? When is daddy home?" Then he consoles himself and says "mommy stay home with Joshua today?" He never wants Caleb to leave. Today I had a Doctor appointment. We picked Caleb up to come. When I was driving back to drop him off and Joshua realized that we were pulling back up to the hospital, he said " No mommy turn around, daddy no work today." It was really cute.
King of the mountain! He loves to get on things and say "I'm big big"
Joshua dragged Caleb all over the hill top climbing on rocks. He is such a little monkey.
The beuatiful fall view of lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains.
We have been playing outside as much as possible before the winter sets in.
My handsome little guy.
Joshua loves to swing from the pole above the slide. Notice the tongue again.
He likes to pretend to fall down and then he says " I fall down"
