CT vacation 2014 . . . part one

Some of you might remember we take a yearly trip, usually in the fall, to visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins that live in Connecticut. We just returned from six days there and it. was. amazing. Brandon has been stressed to the max at work, and I have been stressed to the max working on Clara's therapy/insurance situation, so this trip came at just the right time for our little family.

The girls were rockstars on all four plane rides (two up and two back). Enough so that a man leaned over after one of the flights and asked "Is your little baby always this quiet???" We both busted out laughing. Literally laughing out loud. Um no. No she is not. You were just lucky kind sir.

Here's our trip in a few pictures.

Part one (yes, there are two parts because we took over 300 pictures). . .

Lunch out on our first full day there. . . Camille was fully enjoying a pickle. . .

Clara looking at her reflection in the stool. She is becoming more and more aware of herself, and this is really fun to watch. . . 

My consign, Brogan, with Camille. . .

My cousin, Clancey, with Camille. . . 

This family photo was taken in my aunt and uncle's backyard. . . their backyard. How amazing, right???

We took the girls to a local pumpkin patch. So fun! And the homemade apple cider donuts are pretty hard to beat. Just saying. . .

Clara following her shadow at the pumpkin patch. . .

The view. God is just so amazingly creative.

Camille was not a fan of posing with the pumpkins. . .

And this would be the best pic we got of the girls together. Please observe the crooked glasses and tongue hanging out. Such is life. . .

Uncle Kevin showing Clara the pumpkins. . .

 All the girls. . .

We visited a local farm that runs an Equine Therapy program for kids with disabilities. Clara was loving all the animals there. These pictures are priceless to me. Her smile pretty much melts my heart. . .

CT vacation part two coming soon. . . (aka the time we put Camille inside a pumpkin and she loved hated it.)
