Back to LookOut Farm!

The train ride alone is why we came back to LookOut Farm this year for apple picking - Sam loves riding around the farm on the choo-choo train!

Craig took Sam into the corn maze which he loved!

Climbing the mountain of hay!

Sam's 1st pony ride :)

This was a BIG boy slide!

Getting ready to ride the caterpillar...

Time for a snack...hot popcorn!

Still snacking on the train ride to the apple orchard...

These were the biggest apples we have EVER seen!!

Digging in :)

Finding just right apples to bring home...

Happy with his picks!

As if popcorn and apples were not enough...we couldn't go home without having an apple cider donut!

Touch-a-Truck!

A few weekends ago Craig and Sam went to an event called Touch-a-Truck.  A dream come true for Sam!!  He got to touch a fire truck (and use the hose!), police car, ambulance, and every construction vehicle imaginable!  Here are some snap shots of what the boys got to see...and touch!





Back to visit our friends

A few weeks ago we decided to go back to the Boston Garden to see our duck friends before winter arrives and it's too chilly.  Sam was thrilled and went through a whole loaf of bread in 20 minutes flat!  We had quite the crowd of hungry ducks...and toddler!

Craig tried to explain to to Sam that the bread is for the ducks but he had his own agenda....

A piece of bread for the ducks followed by a piece for Sam!  Needless to say Sam was not hungry for lunch :)  He ate about 6 pieces...

1st day of Nursery School!

My Sam had a BIG day at the beginning of this month...he had his first of day of nursery school!!  We have him enrolled just once a week this year for socialization and practice being away from mommy for a few hours :)  He had a GREAT 1st day and really enjoys school - or "gool" as he calls it!  His favorite activities are painting, the train table, and using scissors (yikes!).  He continues to have a difficult time saying good bye when I drop him off each Monday but according to his teacher Sam is smiling and running around 2 minutes after I walk out the door :)  Sam says, "I like gool, Mommy!"  We're proud of our Sam...

All dressed and ready for school - it was a rainy 1st day!
