The Farm

One of my favorite places to visit is Shelburne Farms.  Ethan is *almost* to the age where I don't hyperventilate when I can't see him and Toby is *just* the right age to get sucked into playing with the toy tractors for hours.  Plus, it is just plain GORGEOUS out there.  I hope that over the years we get to utilize the hiking trails and biking trails more fully but for now I think every trip is just darned special :)

And here are some pretty solid examples of how my kids won't frickin' smile like normal people.  Buuuut they are still wicked cutie pies!

Riding the tractor/train out to the Barn!
