More Fall Fun

This past weekend, we had a surprise visitor - my dad! He was in CT visiting his brother and decided to venture on north to see us before heading back to PA. Our plans for the weekend included a visit to the Canterbury Shaker Village in Canterbury, NH, for their Harvest Days.

First, we went to brunch at their restaurant, The Shaker Table. We HIGHLY recommend the creme brulee french toast, or anything else on their menu for that matter! Once we were all stuffed, we took a hay wagon ride to the pumpkin patch so EJ could pick one out:

Then, the wagon dropped us off at the children's tent so she could paint the pumpkin:

And of course, she had to try walking on stilts while she was there:

Sophie was content to sit on Pap-Pap's lap and watch the action. It took her a day or so to warm up to him so that he could hold her! Check out her pumpkin shoes!

Next, we tried to sit the girls in front of a display of mums in their Halloween sweaters to get a portrait, but Sophie wasn't interested in smiling. She's teething (two bottom ones at once!) and has been a bit on the fussy side.

Then, Dad took one of all of us:

EJ decided she wanted a chance behind the lens, so she took this brilliant shot of the mums:

Thanks, Pap-Pap, for spending a beautiful fall weekend with us!
