Happy Halloween!

Caitlynn was invited to go trick-or-treating with her buddy Evan around his neighborhood. Caitlynn and Evan had a great time walking around to the different houses and checking out other kids costumes. They loved picking out their "own" candy and even got to taste some along the way (only gummy bears, of course!). They only made it to about a dozen and a half houses but Caitlynn's basket was filled to the top! we think she was the cutest duck! We had a great time celebrating Halloween with the Birrane's for the second year in a row and hope to make this an annual tradition for years to come!

Apple Picking

We decided to take Caitlynn apple picking for the very first time this year. We drove out to Baugher's Farm in Westminster, MD. It was about a 45 minute drive from our house but well worth the trip! They had all different kinds of apple trees to pick from. Caitlynn didn't really want to pick any off of the tress but she did love eating the Ida Red Apples. She ate an entire apple, skin and all! She even tried to eat some of the core until we took it from her (I guess if she starts to sprout an apple tree, we know why!). They had a store and bakery which we browsed after apple picking and ended up buying apple fritters, which were delicious. We picked about 20 lbs of Ida Red and Green Delicious apples which we turned into homemade apple sauce, apple crisp, and had left overs just to enjoy. We had a great day and are now looking forward to a new fall family tradition for years to come!

Wedding Weekend!

This weekend, Aunt Jill and Uncle Mike got married in Lancaster, PA! I was honored to be a part of their big day as the flower girl. It was a family affair- Mommy and Daddy were in the wedding too! I didn't walk down the aisle but I sure looked pretty as Mommy carried me down without tears. I hung out Nonna and Pop-pop during the wedding and was so good. I had a great time playing with my new cousins, Madison and Simone, at the Reception. Aunt Jill looked so beautiful! I had a great time playing with my extended family!

Amish Farm

I went to an Amish Farm today with Popi and Mimi. My soon-to-be cousins, Madison and Simone, came along too! I loved seeing and petting the animals, especially the horses. The girls and I even got to pick out our own pumpkins (mine was white!). It was a great way to spend a Fall day in PA!

Weekend in PA

I spent this weekend in PA. Popi and Mimi took me to go pumpkin picking at a local farm. Then, they let me paint it all by myself! I really created a work of art. The next day, Uncle Rusty came over and played play-doh with me. It was a great time filled with lots of fun activities!
