Fall Trip

Ok, so granny and papa go to New England every year to see the fall foliage. Since we are yankees now, they flew out to Philly for Columbus Day weekend and we went along. The main parts of our trip were in upstate New York and Vermont, but we also drove through parts of New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut. That makes 5 new states for me!

Papa and Shmoo planning the trip.

No apples from the ground!

Apples abound!




A real-live one lane covered bridge in Vermont :)

Shmoo wanted to take a pic :)

At Joseph Smith's birthplace




Ben and Jerry's factory!




On the ferry from New York to Vermont.

Mmm, more apple cider donuts!

King Shmoo was sick for a lot of the trip, but had fun anyway.

Huh?

A perfect example of the all too frequent narcissism displayed lately by a certain 4 year old:


Daddy: Only one perfect person ever lived on the whole earth. Who is it, Shmoo?

Shmoo: That's me.


**************************************************

A perfect example of the freaky food preferences of that same 4 year old:

Sunday

Shmoo: Can we please have brussel sprouts tonight?

Me: Sorry, we're having green beans tonight

Shmoo: YAY! Green beans!

Monday

Shmoo: Can we please have brussel sprouts tonight?

Me: Sorry, we're having carrots tonight.

Shmoo: YAY! Carrots!

Tuesday

Shmoo: Can we PLEASE have brussel sprouts tonight?

Me: Sorry, can't you just be happy with broccoli?

Shmoo: I guess. Broccoli is only my second favorite though.

Wednesday

Shmoo: Can we PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY please have brussel sprouts tonight?

Me: I guess.

Shmoo: YAYAYYAAY! It's the best day ever!
