Party Over Here!

This is a bit of life over the past few weeks.

Let's start with round two of the Cranberry Harvest Celebration in Wareham, MA, remember last year? Just so you know, it was just as amazing as the first year! I can't wait for next year!
Next, the Scituate Arts Festival. It was really fun, like most any arts festival. This led us to apple picking at a nearby orchard. This resulted in a few crazy moments. Adam was focused on picking apples, and I was so excited capturing pictures, I didn't notice Adam dangling from a tree branch. Instead of running to his aide, I tried to take photo...this proved to be the wrong move. I think I've now learned the proper techniques for apple picking. Next year is bound to be a bit safer.
Next on the list of fun. I invited myself on a friends trip to New York City. I know, don't you just love my tact? Well, it all payed off, and was a magical time! I'm already planning my next return trip. Don't be surprised if we move there, I truly loved it so much!
Here's a quick peek of the fun. p.s. I met some really amazing girls there. Thanks Meg for letting me tag along for the fun!

Yankee's game
I'm afraid of Yankee's fans.
 Finally, now that everyone has probably given up on this extremely long blog post. We made our way to Mysitc, CT to sample the fall flavors of an apple cider mill. It's the oldest running steam powered mill. I loved it! I really dig on this kind of thing. We watched cider being pressed, and then filled up on apple cider, cider donuts and goat cheese. Yep, goat cheese.
look at all that tasty cider!
