Favorite Things

I love hiking.  We haven't done a whole lot of hiking the past couple of years, since we have lived in some of the flattest states (Kansas and Florida).  But, there are some places to hike in Connecticut.  So off we went.  We borrowed a backpack carrier from some friends, and Anabelle was all set to enjoy the ride.  She loved it.

Check this out!  This huge tree trunk was completely hollowed out. It was really cool.



Anabelle loves to set up all of her toys in a row and put them to bed.  She will do this over and over again, sometimes for 20-30 minutes at a time.  Today, she sang them songs.  So sweet.  They always have to have a blanket to lay on.  Oh, she is a fun little girl.


Here is a video to demonstrate her new favorite activity

Current Happenings

Some of Anabelle's goofy faces.  And yes, she fell and scraped her chin

Some pics from the zoo.  Isn't this one great!

A giant alligator



Cute tiny little monkeys

Our little one LOVES cheese

as you can see, she would have eaten the entire block if we let her

We took a trip up to Hartford and went on a hike up to a tower overlooking practically all of CT


So green
And we went to NYC again to go to the temple.  Here it is, right in the middle of the city
On "Top of the rock", one of the tallest buildings with a 360 view overlooking the city. This is the empire state building in the background



Panoramic view to the south

and to the North

This green beauty is Central Park.

Fishing for some snacks as we walk the city
Enjoy!
