Barkhamsted/Winsted Connecticut

We are having a blast in Connecticut!  The days have been warm and the nights have been chilly- perfect fall weather!  This part of the trip has been dedicated to visiting family!  Bryan's family is from Connecticut and we've been able to visit with his Aunt Linda and Uncle Jerry and cousins John and Melissa and their kids.  We've taken rides down Memory Lane -its been awesome for Bryan to share his memories, historic locations and family history with our boys!  Here are some pictures of our Connecticut adventures!  

This was our Connecticut home away from home :-)

Braden doing what he does best! He's had a fantabulous time fishing - he's caught Bluegill, Bass and Yellow Perch here.

Great playground too!

Fishing with John Benjamin 

This was a great place to spend a Friday evening!  The only thing better than go-carts is go-carts with cousins!!!!

And the only thing better than go-carts is Quads!!! John and Melissa and the kids were so awesome to share their toys with us!

Bryan was the biggest kid of all!

Aaron didn't stop smiling all day!

Today we went on a hike with the Ellis Family.  It was an official uphill, heart pumping, cardio blasting hike-o-rama!!!!  Once we climbed to the top, we realized it was well worth it!  

Cousins taking a break after a hike to the top of the mountain and then to the top of the tower!

John and Bryan checking out the craftsmanship!

We just had to stop here for our own Little Bear!!!! ❤Bearclaw131❤

Here we are working hard on our studies during the week!  The boys amaze me everyday!

After a fun filled week, we are getting ready to head to Rhode Island tomorrow. Here's our last evening around the campfire.  The boys and the dog are already inside, I think we wore them out!!!!
