Autumn in New England

As you might expect, Maine is absolutely beautiful right now--the air is crisp and the leaves are changing. We are really enjoying our first autumn in Maine.

Last weekend, we took Livie to the county fair. She got such a kick out of feeding the sheep!


She loved seeing all the different animals so close...





Despite this ox weighing 3900+ lbs more than Livie, she wasn't intimidated at all. She insisted on petting it even while it tried to swat her with its tail!



This weekend, we took Livie to pick out pumpkins. Some of the pumpkins were bigger than she is!


She had so many pumpkins to choose from...



She found one that was just her size!



We found several great pumpkins: one for Dada, one for Mama, one for Livie and one for Peanut!

Once we got home, Livie didn't want to let the pumpkins out of her sight...even while she ate lunch!
Although our corn didn't provide many ears for eating, at least it was good for something! As you can see, Livie found a new little seat that is just her size.
Oh, and by the way, Livie is still finding new ways every day to torment Bailey, or as Livie calls her, "Bay"! Livie now thinks that "Bay's" crate is her garage.

Maine looks beautiful. We've heard New England is absolutely incredible in the fall. Thanks for all the pictures...Olivia just gets cuter and cuter. We missed going to the fair with you this year but are glad to see you made it.

I love seeing the fun things you do in Maine. Thanks for posting pictures so we can watch the growing seasons with you. It's amazing how much Livie loves animals (she sure didn't get that from HammyShan:) I love her new "garage" and it's so nice that Bailey is happy to share. I love you all sooooo much!
