Fall Time (Part 2)

Vermont is the most quintessential place for Fall. I absolutely love it!

We went apple picking. There are apple picking orchards all over here. It is SO much fun! If anyone comes to visit us in the fall, we will go apple picking! Ethan on a tractor. He is just too cute, we are always taking pictures of him.


Here is Ethan at the orchard.

We had a lot of fun picking apples!



This is the handy little apple-picking-helper. Helps you get the awesome ones up at the top of the tree.
As you can see we had a fun little photo shoot in the apple orchard


Ethan thought it was so fun to pick his own apples and put them in his own basket!

And of course, we visited the Jospeh Smith Memorial. We love that place and want everyone who visits to feel the spirit there.


That bench is where the house was.


A pretty little river. I still can't get over how picturesque Vermont is. We didn't have to go up to the mountains searching for beautiful things like this. They are just everywhere!

Covered Bridges. That was one thing my mom really wanted to do here, see some covered bridges.

So one day when I was first here I saw a perfect little white church like this one and I about came un-glued. Oh my heck i thought this was the cutest thing. Then I kept seeing them everywhere! There are just too cute!

This is at the top of Stowe Mountain. Stowe is the most perfect little town ever. We were driving around for a little while and then all of a sudden we came into their "downtown". I can't believe we didnt take pictures of it. My mom and I at the same time just ghasphed and were like "are you serious?!" it was so stinkin cute it was almost un-real.

We rode a tram to the top of the mountain and it was the most beautiful view!
We thought this was kind of amusing....look at the elevation. 3625 feet. This is the highest peak in Vermont.....Cedar City is 5834 ft. not even in the mountains. haha. It made me wonder why Vermont is SO much colder then Utah when Utah is way higher.

The view from the bottom of the tram.


Ahh...beautiful, eh? Anyone wanna come visit?

Christy, I can't get over how gorgeous and perfect that picture is of you just holding up the apple. So beautiful!!!

And I love that the plaque says that this is the place where the Smith family "washed and dressed and cuddled" the prophet. :) It makes it seem so real that he was BORN there. :) So cute.

love this!!

I love your pictures and it makes me remember the time I lived back east during the fall. Everyone and anyone should experience the fall there. I simply love it. Also other favorite part is the drive while getting up the the JS memorial-I love the tree lined road

Isn't it crazy to live somewhere that looks like this? I think Vermont looks even nicer than Boston.
