Fall Foliage / Les couleurs automnales

From October 2009


We took our first Massachusetts road trip last weekend to see the famous Eastern fall foliage in the Berkshires.
Our early morning departure got delayed after mom got a big booboo on her finger but we still made it in time to Great Barrington to walk around Benedict Pond in the Bearcountry forest and hop off every rock and tree root that was 2 inches or higher. It was fun to walk on all the leaves that had fallen to the ground, they made a lot of noise.

After that we had dinner in Lenox and mom and dad got candles on their dessert to celebrate their first year of marriage. Yes, I got to blow the candles. Candles are my job now!

The next day we got on a very old train and rode through towns, over bridges and in the forest, then Papa told me everything about Norman Rockwell at his museum in Stockbridge. After lunch I took a long nap in the car and when I woke up we were in butterfly land. They were everywhere, it was so great!

But when we came out it was snowing! This place has very strange weather...

Anyway, it was fun to go on a road trip with Mom and Papa!

On a fait notre premier weekend voyage dans le Massachusetts. On est alle voir les fameuses couleurs automnales dans le Berkshires.
Notre depart matinal a ete repousse a cause du gros bobo que maman s'est fait au doigt mais on est tout de meme arrive a temps pour aller faire le tour de l'etang Benedict a Great Barrington et pour sauter de chaque pierre et racines d'arbre qui etait de plus de 4cm. Marcher dans les feuilles mortes c'est super, ca fait plein de bruit!
