Winter Festival Out West

Winter Festival at Ticonderoga Farms was a great way to spend a morning. There was a hay ride, giant things to jump on and slide down, and even a chance to get a Christmas tree (though we didn’t pick one up that day). We come thoroughly entertained, and worn out!

The Zoo in Lights

Our first holiday entertainment was a trip to Zoo Lights to take in the sights and sounds of the season. Taking advantage of a seasonably warm night, we saw all the exhibits on offer and even took in a few new spots we didn’t make it to last year. It was a fun time that…

Thanksgiving 2015

Nothing like the addition of even more fried food to the menu (in this case, the dessert course) to make an already great holiday even better. With warmer weather, great company and a whole second turkey to enjoy the next day, it was a great time all around!

Zoo-mania in Philly

Always fun to catch up with friends, and even better when it’s at the zoo! Yes, keeping track of 6 little ones may have proven a challenge for 6 middle-aged adults. But, we all had fun and came out with everyone!

Family Fall Fun in the Country

Another month, another family birthday! Pop Pop hit another year older, and we celebrated during a crisp fall weekend in the country – plenty of chocolate items on hand to make it that much more exciting for the little ones, and booze for the adults!

A Fall Photoshoot

Thanks to the talents of Paula Paiva Photography, we got to capture the beauty of the season (and us frolicking in the woods for a half hour). All we have to say is thank goodness for the nearby playground to use as a bribe. Victory was ours!

Fourth Time’s a Charm

It took a few years, but – man – Colin has embraced Halloween in all its glory! While a little of a slow start at the school Halloween parade, the boy let loose for trick or treating with buddy Aidan. It was 1.5 hours of running up and down hills and stairs until his Darth…

A Hershey Halloween

Since one chocolate factory wasn’t enough for C, we hit two in two weeks with a trip to Hershey Park in the Dark. There were rides, trick or treating and even a zoo, making this chocolate-themed experience hard to beat!

Fall + Birthday Fun

Colin’s birthday was the coldest day of the season to date, but that didn’t stop a trip to the Corn Maze in the Plains for some fall-filled fun! Of course, the day ended with a chocolate treat to celebrate three crazy years of C!
