A long, but glorious day

Yesterday was the longest day we have had in quite some time.  Benjamin and I left for the farmers market at 6:30 ... that would be in the AM!  It was still dark outside, but we had lots to do, and first on the list was picking up our farm share.  Since it was pretty chilly, I just slipped Benjamin's jacket on over his jammies...

He's thinking, "Golly, Mom, can we stop trying to 'get this jacket to last' and just go ahead and let me wear one that actually reaches my waist?"  No worries, son!  The bigger one was in the dryer, ready for us to get suited up to head to...

the weddin'!

It was an absolutely gorgeous fall day for an outdoor wedding on a quaint little farm in a town a couple of hours from home.  Benjamin was a little overwhelmed by all the people, but livened up around lunchtime...


I just couldn't get over what a beautiful setting it was for a wedding (or how cute Benjamin looked in his little corduroy pants - thanks for letting us open the birthday present early, Grandma!  :)




 While we were in the area, we thought we'd also take advantage of the state park that's nearby, boasting "19 waterfalls along an easy gorge trail."  Why not?  Benjamin was such a trooper, and the views were worth every minute.  We didn't take the whole trail (it was already 4:30 and Little Man hadn't had a nap yet!), but we're hoping to go back someday!
