Nature Center -- Sept '09

These pictures are a few months old but as the saying goes, "better late than never." We took advantage of a warm day in September and decided to take a walk at the New Canaan Nature Center. There was a new chicken coop/house there which is why Caitlyn was particularly curious by the new inhabitants.

Rock Star

Uncle Peter and Alex were kind enough to loan us their Rock Band game and it's surprisingly a time sucker. Caitlyn is not the only one in the family to enjoy playing this game :)

Much to Uncle Peter's delight, Caitlyn can now refer to him as "Pee-tah" instead of "Pee-pee." I would have been okay with either version.

Fall in Glastonbury

A few weeks ago, Caitlyn and I visited Aunt Jackie and Uncle Matt up in Glastonbury for an eventful weekend full of apple picking and fall festivals.

The 70-minute drive up there was scenic, the apples were crisp, and the apple cider donuts were piping hot and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Yum! Oh, and to top it off, Caitlyn and I got to pet and hold some cute and fluffy baby chicks (unfortunately no pics of that -- needed both hands.)

Of course Caitlyn loves snakes....

It's one of her mom's biggest fears.

These pictures were taken at Earthplace, a nearby nature discovery center. There's a room filled with animals -- guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, owls, parakeets, but oh no, she just went to the slithering reptiles. Caitlyn also loves saying "sssssssss".

To interpret, Caitlyn says "run" and "more, more" in this video.
