Annual CT Vacation 2017

Per our annual tradition, we just returned from a week in the glorious land that is Connecticut!
Most of you that have been following for a while know how much we look forward to this trip every year.

Blast from the past . . .
2012
2013
2014 part one
2014 part two
2015 - Aka the year my youngest child traumatized every passenger on the plane and I may or may not have texted a friend who once we landed asked, "How did Camille do?" with "My child acted demon possessed." 
2016 part one
2016 part two

The weather wasn't as cool and the leaves not as bold as usual, but we still had a fabulous trip and are grateful for our time away as a family, with family. We got out and about each day, but also soaked in rest and relaxation. My perfect vacation combination.

CT bound . . .




While my aunt was at work one day we took the girls to a little shopping center for play and cupcakes and pizza (yes, in that order, because vacation). . .










Camille warmed up to the pets a bit quicker this year. It only took her two and a half days to stop screaming when the dog walked by, opposed to the usual four. Progress!





Flaming Farm . . .














It's important to note that Clara decided she once again likes pony rides. This girl cannot make up her mind. Love her! We almost didn't try, but I'm so glad we did!



Several trips to Tulmeadow Farms for homemade ice cream . . .





#reallife . . .




Park time . . .








We visited the cutest little toy store, Necker's Toyland. Think the opposite of Toys R Us and more "mom and pop."




And per tradition, we ate at LaSalle's Market & Deli and strolled by the river for pictures . . .


















And some miscellaneous fun. . .







Our (early) flight home. . . they were wiped!



CT, we love you! See you next October . . .

  1. Selfishly I'm jealous of this trip every year, but unselfishly I'm so glad y'all get to do this every year :) Looks like it was another hit for the girls especially- family vacay memories are the best!
