NY In The Fall, Day 2

It was simply STUNNING yesterday!
The weather was beautiful.
The scenery was beautiful.

Kindle spent the weekend with her grandparents, they live in Attica NY! Its about 50 miles South of where we live. I figured we'd take a nice road trip and pick her up on our way home since thats the area I wanted to view.

This place is called Cascade Falls and Devils Hole. There are 2 waterfalls, a smaller one at the top and a tall one at the bottom leading down to Devils Hole. I couldnt get a picture of the tall one because you stand on top of it and the edge to look down is a bit too steep for me! The walk down was a bit hard for me with my ankle, but I DID IT! I was determined to take the kids down there so they could see nature at its finest! And boy was this THE PLACE!!












Bella and Domonic playing in the water which was a bit cool but they didnt mind!











Heading back up to the car. It doesnt look that steep but it really was!
It gave me a HUGE workout, ha!!






More scenery photos, the colors were SO vibrant and breathtaking. The camera really doesnt do this justice!











And that was our scenery road trip!
Be sure to click on the pics to enlarge them!



When we stopped to pick Kin up she came walking out with 2 of the most fragrant dried flower bouqets I have ever seen. Her grandparents live in an old cobblestone home FULL of antiques and primitives. Kathy her grandmother harvests dried flowers for local shops in the area that she grows in her gardens.
I was SO happy when I saw her walking down to the car with these!!






Phew.....this is a long one eh!??

WAIT! Justa few more pics, ha!

Friday afternoon my MIL called over, she needed Bella to come over to look at something with her. So off Bella went. A few hours later Deb calls and said remember how I promised Bella a pony, I said.........yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Meet Velvet, haha! She will board in MILs barn but the pasture will be in our back acre. Shes only 4 years old and sweet as can be. Bella is IN LOVE!!!!
She got spooked last night as Jason was walking her around the yard, Bella on her back, she took a fall and was a little hesitant to get back on but she did:)













Thanks for sharing my weekend with me.
I hope you all had a wonderful one as well!!!

Your color up there is gorgeous Jenn! We're just now starting to turn.
I love the pic with the dirt road, corn fields and fall color in the back. Great composition!
That pony is adorable, and the look on Bella's face is priceless.
Love the dried flowers...she did a nice job...she used a lot of the everlastings and they will last you a long time.
