At Parlee, they have a hay maze the kids can run around and jump on the hay. They had lots of fun with Rebecca and Melissa. They were full of hay from their hair all the way down to their shoes.
Next we took a hay ride out to the apple orchard. It is a nice ride through all the berry fields. This is where we come to pick strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
We can't leave Parlee in the Fall without some warm apple crisp. It is the best!!! Yum!!
Last weekend we went to another farm that we have heard about. It is called Lull Farm. They have a huge corn maze that you can walk through. Callie and I drove out there to meet up with Emily and some of her friends. We entered the maze after they were already in there. It took awhile to find them. When we found them we didn't know which way to go. I would say we were in the maze for at least an hour or more. By the time we got out we were all exhausted. I was a bit nauseated. Not sure why. But it was fun and we got a lot of exercise. Here are some pics of that.

The shadows in this picture make it hard to see but here are all the girls lost in the corn maze.
After leaving the corn maze and had a yummy snack, we said goodbye to the friends. We then headed to the main part of the farm. It was beautiful. The leaves were so pretty and the weather was awesome. Here are just a few of the many pictures I took that day. The sunflowers were beautiful and I didn't even notice all the bees on them until I viewed the pictures on my computer.
On the way to the main part of the farm, the girls were asking why the apple trees leaves hadn't turned colors. I didn't know the answer but we found this tree in the middle of the orchard with red and yellow leaves hugging the trunk of the tree. Hmmm...interesting. We will have to do some researching on that issue.
This farm has older apple trees so they are bigger and sturdier. They were allowed to climb the trees here.
We then headed to the pumpkin pile. I love the picture I took at the top of the blog. The girls each picked out a pumpkin (one they could carry) and we headed home. 
We had last Monday off from school and took full advantage of another beautiful day. We headed down to a place here in town and walked along some of the trails. I took way too many pictures but here are some I took.
This path here is where it flooded a couple years ago during the Mother's Day floods. Some of you may remember the pictures I took back then. The water was rushing through this area when that happened. You couldn't even go past where I was standing for this picture.

After our little hike, we headed over to the elementary school. The colors here were so beautiful but I just couldn't capture how really beautiful it was. I took a ton of pictures and of course as I told the girls it was time to go, the sun finally came back out and made it even more beautiful. So the picture above was my last attempt to get a good shot.
When we came home I took a couple pictures of my favorite tree in our front yard.
So there you have it....Autumn in New England! I will post again soon with birthday party pictures and soccer. Soccer is almost over with one more regular season game next weekend. Emily's team is in second place as of now. Playoffs begin after next weekend. I don't think Callie's age level has playoffs.
The weather has turned colder here this weekend. Highs in the 50's. Brrrrrr!! I know, Barb, it is colder there in Alaska. I am such a wimp.
