A Walk in the Woods



We finally managed to make it out of our neighborhood and begin exploring New England. We took a short hike on a trail near Lincoln Woods just north of Providence. Many of the leaves have already fallen but it was still beautiful. We hiked by a pond that still was surrounded by trees with all shades of colors. Shelby hung in the backpack til the end - at which point she could stand it no longer and demanded freedom! Of course she doesn't follow the path nor does she follow directions so this resulted in some crying followed by dad carrying her the rest of the way. Overall, she loved the trip as she is our little tree hugger and LOVES leaves and trees of all kinds. She has since she was just an infant. Our struggle will be to keep her tied down so we can actually walk rather than deal with managing her eating leaves, dirt, rocks and whatever else she can manage to find. We are hoping to get in a few more short day trips before it gets too rainy and cold.

How beautiful New England looks with the falling leaves. Shelby is so cute and getting to be so big.

Ah, so that's what real fall looks like;). We went on a walk yesterday and I showed Aiden a Japanese maple so he could have an idea of how the other half of the US enjoys the season;). You guys look great and it sounds like you're having fun adventures! Thanks for sharing:) - We miss you!!
