Falloween Trippin' Boo

If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then this post is worth 26,000 words... plus some real words.

Since Nat and I love the Fall and since we love Halloween, we took a trip to celebrate... Falloween. We spent 7 days exploring Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

Our timing was perfect...


Newport, Rhode Island... home of the worlds largest tennis museum... and what might you expect to see at the worlds largest tennis museum???....


... the world's largest tennis balls.


Naturally Beck found the one place within the museum's property that is hazardous.

The cliff walk... one glorious mansion after another.


... If I had to live in Rhode Island, this would be my house.


... and Nat picks this one.


The boy.

Daddy teaching beck how to do a backflip off a picnic table.

Knuckles... for a backflip well done.


An apple picking farm.


Baa.


"Hay. Hay. He's a monkey..."


"Welcome to the Pumpkin Festival, please follow the pumpkin on rollerskates to your parking spot."


Ridiculous amounts of carved pumpkins... and this wasn't even a fraction of them.







Thank you Liddles for coming to hang out with us. It was so fun to see you guys.

Cambridge, MA. CES Institute Bldg. Mom and Dad's (Nelson) home away from home while they are serving their mission.


Harvard. About 200 steps from the Institute Bldg.


Salem, MA... spooky. If you don't know why it's spooky... google it.
