Baby Bear in the Woods

Everyone talks about how beautiful the fall is on the East coast and I must admit that even though it means winter is looming around the corner, it is really quite spectacular to see the leaves turn from a vibrant green to vivid reds and oranges.A friend of our was celebrating her birthday at a cabin in the Shenandoah mountains and invited us to come. We loaded the baby and the dog into the car and set out on the two hour drive up to the mountains. It was a really pretty drive and the leaves were just starting to change. We go there quickly and were welcomed with open arms and a warm meal. We ate good food and soaked in the hot tub on the back deck while the rain poured down. Inside was a cozy fire place and lots of fun games to play.

The next morning we got up, ate a hearty breakfast and went for a walk down to the river. Both Miles and Beckett love playing outside and they were thrilled be out in the woods taking in the fresh air and beautiful scenery. Miles went about his business of "claiming" trees, always careful to spread the love to as many trees as possible.

Beckett got to wear his cool winter coat that Uncle M and Aunt E got for him (thanks guys!). He looks so cute dressed up as a little bear. I couldn't stop taking pictures.

We both had fun playing on the swing out front. It was a super fun weekend and I'm so glad we got to spend a little time in the woods playing with good friends.
