Our first outing

Today we took our first family outing to see some of this place and the leaves. We had stake conference this morning in New York. People in my ward said it takes about an hour to get to the stake center :( We left about 30 minutes before it started despite our best efforts. Luckily we live in the northern part of the ward and it only took us half an hour to get there. And amazingly our kids lasted almost the whole 2 hours!
After church we changed our clothes and grabbed some snacks and headed out. We traveled a scenic highway to see the leaves and stopped by some cute covered bridges.

Here is a pumpkin tree... These pumpkin people were so funny to me!

And here's an Amish buggy parked to the side of one of their furniture stores :)


A quick drive by Bull's Bridge, and then we got out and walked around by Cornwall Bridge.
We also kept passing these neat looking cemeteries so I made us stop and I took some pictures.


We stopped at Kent Falls and got out to walk around and let the kids run. It was a fun first outing.

Kent is so famous, he has Falls named after him?!? The pictures are great, not only is it beautiful but soooo much history! Exciting!!! The kiddos look great! I'm glad y'all had fun? How many people are in your ward, how big are the boundaries? Reading this reminded me of Florida, having to drive into different counties for ward or stake conferences :) makes you not take things for granted. miss you xoxo

See, it's not so bad. There are lots of fun things to see and do. If you liked the cemetaries, you should go to Sleepy Hollow of the Headless Horseman fame in Sleepy Hollow, NY. We went last weekend. It was surprisingly a lot of fun. Or you could go apple picking. People here do it for fun while people in Utah do it for work. Glad to see you had a good time.

The pictures look great!! It looks a lot prettier there than here. Maybe because it is someplace different. Keep updating us on pictures and your adventures!!
