Connecticut

Kennedy and I had the chance to go back and visit Andrew's parents in Connecticut for a week.
It was a BLAST! I am in love with the fall there. SERIOUSLY SO PRETTY!! And people back there were all obsessed with Kennedy. She was like a movie star! EVERYWHERE we went people commented about her, wanted to talk to her, know how old she was, her name.. oh she is so cute! In all honesty we got stopped about 30+ times just in Costco. Hah! I don't think they see many babies there :)
Heck, I will be the first to say she is the most adorable baby in the world, but I think there is a crowd of about 100 in Connecticut that would agree after their reactions to her! :) It was a good first "trip" for her.. Lots of fun new things...
Here are some highlights of the trip.
First Flight..
The night we left (11:45 pm landing in NY at 5:45 am)
Sleepy eyes...And of course she would not fall asleep in my arms.... but under my seat... We went to a pumpkin patch for the first time... She loved it :)
Went on her first ferry ride to Gillette castle I was trying to capture how beautiful it was.. The picutres don't do it justice. But you get the idea.. :)Spent a day at Grandpa's work (the Institute at Yale)Took a campus tour of YaleGrandma and Kennedy in front of the house playin in the leaves... Grandpa was so excited to buy his first article of pink clothing!
(guess when you have 6 boys you don't get to buy many pink things...)Then we went to Sharon, Vermont to see the birth place of Joseph Smith
A first for both of us..Did I mention how BEAUTIFUL it is there.. Gosh! I honstly feel in love! I love all the trees, and the fall colors were amazing...On the way home we stoped at Sugar Bush Farm where they make pure maple syrupoh and pet a cow for the first time... Kinda random I know..Then we went to the ocean for another first for KennedyShe loved the board walk...Then we went to a fancy restaurant in Mystic for dinner.. and wow.. she was a show stopper here.. Not only did they give us one of the best seats in the house looking over the river, the whole restaurant wanted to hold her, one of the girls told me if we lived there she would bribe us to come in more often so they could see her.. during our whole meal they would try and get her attention and she LOVED it.. playing peek a boo from a distance.. the works. It was so funny. When we left Grandpa said, "Now I know what it's like to go to dinner with someone famous!" It was great!So yes.. this is their drive way.. gorgeous I know.. my pictures don't do this place justice. I loved it. The perfect place to experience fall.Now for the ride home.. If she isn't the cutest carry-on.. I don't know what is! :) She loved the plane!! We were very very lucky to have super nice people by us that of course loved Kennedy! :) Now, If that doesn't just top the trip off, We came home to a clean house, which I was happy about, but it gets better.. yes my wonderful husband even paid to get the carpets cleaned! And got me these awesome flowers.. (Yes they are red sunflowers..) and Yes, I LOVE HIM! We missed him lots, but it was a great trip! Thanks again to Grandma and Grandpa Weber for having us!
