Outdoor Fun!Since Mommy started reading a great book called "The Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv, she's been making sure the boys get time out in nature every day. We've been going to all sorts of interesting places - like this windmill farm to feed ducks...

...and 4 Town Farm, where Jack paused in his running around to put these pumpkins in their proper order...

...and Oakdale Farm, where Jack climbed all over the wagon, chased a rooster and conversed with a donkey.

Jack found a great hideaway under a cool tree...with his green outfit, he blends right in!

Exploring the beach at Colt State Park with Daddy is extra fun from this vantage point!

Quin likes it when we just hang out in our own backyard because he gets out of the baby carrier and plays with the grass.

"Wait, what's that awful racket disturbing my happy grass time? Another temper tantrum??"

Jackson took this close-up of his little brother.

All that running around in the fresh air is exhausting! Time for a binky and a little Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Hooray for Fall!Recently we visited a farm and went on a hayride.

They even had a tepee to play in.

Cold monkey after a bath.

That's better - all wrapped up in a Lightning McQueen bathrobe and matching slippers.

Jack and Quin make each other laugh all the time.

With Halloween on the way, it's fun to play dress up.

Binkies are never far from reach.

Look at those fat legs!

This weekend Jack went to a touch-a-truck! He "drove" a real race car...

...an 18-wheeler...

...and the biggest snowplow we've ever seen.

This is Jack's new best friend, the Geico lizard. He's still asking, "Where is he?"

And we took one last spin on the local carousel, which soon shuts down for the season. So many fun things!
