I’m a leaf peeper!

James and I spent some time in the park yesterday. It was a cool and crisp day and the leaves were so pretty. It was exciting for us because we ended up in a part of the park we had never been before. It was Bridal Veil Falls in the Bedford Reservation. We spend a good amount of time in the park system so it is somewhat rare for us to end up in a new area. The colors were stunning.  This isn't the actual Bridal Veil waterfall, but I really liked all of the color.

Oh so scary!

I spent the evening with my in-laws tonight and boy was it terrifying.  The crying, the high-pitched screams, the monsters…what else would you get on a Haunted Hayride.  I was a little nervous before we went, I wasn’t sure if it was going to freak out and make a fool of myself in front of them.  But we had a blast.  We spent the entire hayride laughing our butts off.  My stomach still hurts a little from it all.

Fun in the dark

James and I were playing with some glow sticks tonight.  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

I just stumbled this and I had to share it.
Super-duper cute!

Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

This picture has been making it's way around the internet this week.

It’s pretty gross and I couldn’t figure out why someone would wear their pants like that.  How is that even comfortable?  Then tonight, I stumbled upon the answer.  It does explain so much!

Now I understand, I hope this helps you too!

I think I’ve recovered from the ladybug incident.

I liked the little bee. I have no explanation for this picture, I just liked it. This is Hector, the woolybear. At least he didn’t fly into my mouth. This little guy was cute but he was making such a racket.

Something awful happened to me today.

James and I decided to do the Lake to Lake walk again today.  Everything was going well until we stopped at the overlook thing about a quarter of the way in.  I went to say something to James and a ladybug flew into my mouth.  YUCK!  It tasted terrible!  I don’t think it got past my teeth but I tasted it on my lips for several minutes after spitting it out.  They say that insects use bright colors as a warning to predators that they are poisonous or that they taste nasty, that is very true. 

Other than that incident the walk was great!  We saw deer, turtles, ducks and even a hawk.

Here is a shot of the offending bug. I know you feel my pain.
