october

Since we only have the weekends together, we really take advantage of them. Last weekend, we went to an aquarium in eastern Connecticut. We'd been there before, so this wasn't our first time to pet sting rays



but it was our first sea lion show



Afterward, we drove right on past our house and up to West Rock, one of the highest points in Connecticut. To give you an idea of how high that is, we hiked it in about 20 minutes. Only to discover that most people drive up. Oh, how I miss real mountains.

Still, the view of the leaves changing in late October in Connecticut is spectacular.





I can't help but take pictures of the leaves every year. Can I? Nope, I can't.

And who wouldn't want to spend the day with these two?
