I love autumn. Apples. Pumpkins. Falling leaves. Cool weather that's perfect for playing outside. Fleeces. Halloween and Thanksgiving. It's probably my favorite season of the year. I also love autumn because Carey and I have found some great things to do on Long Island with the kids during this season. So here are a few photos of some of the fun we've had this fall!

East Northport Chamber of Commerce Fall Festival - September 7, 2013
 |
| A carousel ride with Daddy :-) |
 |
Abby was tall enough to go on most of the rides herself,
so she wanted to ride EVERYTHING. Twice. ;-) |
 |
Visiting our friends at the Public Library tent to color a picture.
(Can you tell that Zachy loves to color?) |
 |
| Abby playing in the bubbles |
Long Island Live Steamers - September 8, 2013
 |
| Ready to ride the trains! |
 |
Carey and our babies enjoying a train ride!
(Pregnant women aren't allowed to ride the trains,
so I was the official photographer for the day.) |
 |
We met up with our friends, Todd and Jaime, who have
two kids the same ages as Abby and Zach.
The kids all had a blast! |
 |
Zachy was upset to get off the trains,
but a Popsicle made him feel better. :-) |
 |
Abby and Carey enjoying a treat at the end of our
picnic lunch. |

And, of course, no visit to the Museum would be complete
without a ride on Nunley's Carousel! |
 |
| Carousel rides are the best! |

Old Westbury Gardens - October 4, 2013
 |

The kids are both getting into Charlie Brown,
so they loved this pumpkin! |
