This is what CT is looking like right now. I think this is my favorite part of fall, when there is still a lot of green left, but the edges of trees are starting to change.
To celebrate the official arrival of fall we went to this Apple Orchard yesterday.
We had the place to ourselves and picked some apples.
And ate some apples.
Owen loved his apple and was not a happy camper when I took it away.
We also had a visitor in our backyard yesterday. I think I have mentioned this before, but I really feel like we live in the wild out here with all the animals that wander through our yard. Rick told me this was an eagle, I thought it was a hawk, Rick claims it was too big to be a hawk. Any fowl experts out there that can break the tie?
Whatever it was it was pretty intense and plucking the feathers out of it's prey and consuming it.
Leaving a big mess in our backyard that I have been avoiding.
A little footage of him (or her) in action.

Woah! This is awesome footage and CT is looking GORGEOUS! Looks like it is time for another road trip! ;)
I love Owen & Wyatt's matching crocks! I don't know anything about birds but I'm taking your side just because.
Janae, that is a hawk in your backyard. I loved the picture of Owen standing next to the tree and then of the two boys eating their apples. Owen is growing up so fast.
Keith thinks it's an immature red tail hawk and I think the pictures of the boys eating apples at the orchard are pretty cute!
I can't believe Owen is standing! I didn't know he could do it (or would do it rather!)
oh my gosh this post makes me so happy (and sad at the same time)! Owen standing is amazing...same with his crocs! I LOVE the pics of the boys with the apples. So cute! Sorry I didn't call back yesterday! ichat on sunday? Mike is missing Rick pretty bad ha.
Great pictures of great adventures.
Eagle or hawk it doesn't matter. It is still a big bird eating animals in your backyard!
Wow, how I wish we were there right now ... the apple picking, colors changing; there's definitely no place like New England!
Gorgeous!!!! I am really sad about living in Vegas and missing fall colors! I agree with what everyone else said about the boys--they are so grown-up and handsome! I would definitely say hawk, but I don't really know anything about birds!
We are loving fall in NE, too! Our trees are all changing and we just went apple picking this week, as well. I love the boys' matching orange shirts and crocs. So cute!!
