Last year Beckett and Anna took their mothers to a Maple Festival somewhere in the area. I'm not exactly sure where they went, because I was enlisted in teaching the Communications Merit Badge at a seminar. Lucky for me, this year's Maple Festival trip was scheduled for the week after my annual teaching sojourn.
But first, here's Ciaran looking super cute.
And back to the festival. This tiny little festival was like 80 miles away from our town, which ended up being about 40 miles further than it was worth. Fun, but, yea, a bit too far. Good maple syrup and good pancakes though.
Here's me and Beckett. I got a haircut last week. Beckett still needs one. Not to complain, but it was like freezing outside 3 days after it was 60 degrees. Bad timing Mother Nature! Weekends are supposed to be nice weather, not weekdays.
There was a horse cart that was giving rides around the fairgrounds of Dutchess County. Somehow we didn't get any pictures of the horses, but here's Beckett hanging off the back.
Prior to the cart ride we had crafts with the local girl scout troop. Beckett (i.e. Dawnell) made a soccer bracelet. Here Beckett and Anna are coloring and gluing on maple leafs.
This is a working sugar house where they make maple syrup. We got a nice tour. As you can see, Beckett was particularly intrigued by the rocks on the outside of the sugar house.
And through it all Ciaran stayed cute. Mommy too.
They are so cute and C is looking more and more like B the older he gets. Either way both of them have shocking blue eyes!
ReplyDeleteCiaran is looking so big! I can't believe those pictures on the couch...he is taking on his own look and is such a big boy. Glad you had fun at the festival, it looks like fun for all!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Ciaran is looking so grown up and oh so huggable and cute! I can hardly wait to see him and kiss those little cheeks. There's an easter package in the mail..Hope you get it in time for the big day.
