Fall is here

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The leaves are pretty, it is nice out and there is many activities that only come once a year. This year was no exception. Ben and I attended a few of the festivals and enjoyed them more then the last year. There is one that is next to our house that is my favorite. There is a spooky hayride, baby goats to feed, a cow to milk and tons of fun slides and activities to join in. There is kettle corn to eat and music to listen. I think Ben's favorite part is the goats but this year he liked the slides as well. There is another farm that grows Christmas trees and also has a pumpkin patch where you can take a hayride out to the patch and pick your own pumpkin right off the vine. Here are a few pictures of our adventures at each of the festivals.

Air and Space Museum

We got a free sunday and decided to visit the Air and Space Museum at the Dulles airport. Ben is getting to the age now where we can go to those places and he will actually look at everything and like walking around. Plus this time was an added bonus that the Transformers 2 movie was filmed there and one of the characters Jetfire is on display there. Well actually they used one of the planes that was already there on display and turned him into a character. Ben thought it was so cool to see one of the transformers there. They also had a huge display of pictures of how they filmed the scene and accessories from the movie. Ben was in awe. We had fun walking around and looking at all the planes and other flying vehicles.
