Columbus Discovers Autumn

The Balls came up for a day of autumn fun. I took a few family pictures for them in the morning, and then we met my crew in Concord center and had lunch in the middle of Monument Square.

Army crawling is a standard photography technique, right?
See, I'm great with kids!
From there, we ventured to the boathouse to procure a couple of high-occupancy canoes. It's a lovely way to experience the fall foliage, especially on a day like today with temps around 67 degrees.
PUSH!!!
Lord of the Flies as Mel put it (all the kids were over there eventually, while the grownups stayed behind on the shore)
A most handsome toad
Hiawatha and her friend Marcus cruising down the river
They just got dirtier as the day wore on.

We stopped for pastries in Concord at Sally Ann's, and capped our trip off with a visit to Wilson Farms and the haunted hay ride.

I can't imagine doing this in the fall - I bet it sucked rocks. I mean, I bet it was the best ever ever. And... love Sally Ann's! Did you get that one cookie?

I'm breaking commandments over here - coveting this amazing day and time with you all. Tear.

Fun times! The army crawl is definitely the best photographer tool for babes -- I bet the pics turned out fantastic as yours always do!
