US Trip: Pumpkin Patch & Apple Picking

I love fall in New England. It's definitely my favorite season of the year so I am happy that we were able to visit just as the leaves were starting to change color and apple picking season was in full swing. The Friday before the end of our trip was a perfect sunny day with a visit to Lyman Orchards - my favorite place to go apple picking. My family has been going ever since I could remember and I'm sure we'll continue to bring Amélie as she grows up too.

^^Amélie was seriously not impressed with the pumpkins. We couldn't even get one smile out of her with all of the silly faces, singing and dancing we tried to entertain her with. She did just wake up from a nap in the car and found herself in a field full of pumpkins or maybe it was because I dressed her in white pants that were too small for her? 
^^"Sighhh - why is mommy making me do this?"
^^A on the hunt for some good looking apples. 
^^Amélie was kind of interested, maybe? 
^^I made us take a family pic, several actually. 
^^Such a beautiful and clear day in Connecticut
^^Tiff and A carried the apples, I carried the baby and then it was off to the Apple Barrel to buy some treats. 
^^Just chilling with some pumpkins. 
^^Our fall family photo, that exposed belly is too cute. 
^^So many pumpkins! I love the white ones. 
^^Waiting in line for some cider donuts, though I wanted one of everything. 
^^Just hanging out with daddy while mommy buys pies and cider (the American kind!)

The next day, it was already time to leave. Our bags were just at the weight limit mainly filled with baby clothes and toys for Amélie. We had a last little get together on Friday night with friends, way too much food and a fire to make s'mores. We wanted to go to the diner the next morning, but we too lazy and opted for a big breakfast at Tiff's instead - Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Spice bread made into French toast, yes, please with bacon, extra crispy and why not throw in some left over crab rangoons and potato skins too. 
^^Exhausted and taking a nap on daddy before leaving for the airport. 
^^Finally home with a huge pile of clothes and toys, though all washed and organized now! 

and that's it for our trip to America, I already can't wait to go back for our next visit.
