We had a break from the cool days of fall this weekend. Temperatures were in the upper 70s and 80s with bright blue skies, and we took full advantage. On Saturday morning, we picked apples at the local orchard. Clara enjoyed the free samples.
Then Clara and I went for a hike around the snow-making pond at the end of our road. Clara threw rocks into the pond and found a new friend.
On Sunday, the whole family took a hike to the local fire tower. The fire tower is only open on Columbus Day weekend every year. We did the same hike last year, but Jared carried Clara in the backpack. This year, Clara hiked the whole trail by herself. It took at least twice as long, but was well worth it. Jared and Clara climbed the tower and looked for ducks on the nearby ponds.
Clara's daycare was closed on Monday, so I took the day off and enjoyed some one-on-one time with Clara at the Charmingfare Farm. We took a tractor ride around the farm and saw some animals including a camel, wolves, bears, goats, cows, horses, skunks, and caribou. Clara enjoyed feeding all the animals from her bag of grain. She even went on a pony ride and made some new friends in the bounce house.
