It is the most colorful time time of the year. The leaves are so beautiful. It is so much fun to be outside and watch the fall colors. Walking back from school we find the most colorful leaves, then at home we dry them and Hanna and Marius make beautiful pictures with them.
Last weekend we went to a farm in Stamford Connecticut, called Heckscher Farm at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. A lovely place, with lots of farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, horses and cows), trails to walk in the woods, a nature playground and an otter pond. They also had a hay maze, hay ride and pumpkin patch. It was so nice to spend all day outside in such a wonderful place, we all had great time. The kids loved the animals, Nathalie-Ann especially loved one duck and actually at one point grabbed his beak. Hanna and Marius had a blast in the playground, playing pirates and big bird in the big nests.
Tomorrow is Halloween day. Last weekend Hanna and Marius already had their first party, today Hanna had a parade at school and tomorrow we’ll have a fall festival at the church. Marius is a proud fireman this year and Hanna was really creative with her witch costume.

Marius just learned to ride his two wheeler and by now he is really good at it. People we meet on the road or at school say that they are really impressed, which makes Marius really proud of him self, to the point that he will now tell total stranger we meet that he can ride his bike or he will just point to his bike and say “two wheels”, so that those people will also compliment him. It is really fun to watch. Today after watching the parade at Hanna’s school we went biking to the Massapequa preserve. Marius really wanted to go there, because he had not been there yet on his bike. Also here the trees were beautiful. And Marius did really well biking all the way to the woods and back to Hanna’s school to pick her up and back to our house.
