Farnsworth & Santa

Rockland had a Festival of Lights on Saturday.  The Farnsworth Museum held an open house with activities for children.  In order of how much Phin liked them, the activities were: model train display, decorate your own cookie, horse drawn wagon ride, and art project.  Then we said hi to Santa.  Phineas was not shy and, when asked, rattled off a few items he wants for Christmas.  Later in the evening we went to a parade downtown, where he told us his favorite float was the Coast Guard rescue boat.

Thanksgiving

This year we visited Gido and Sandy and then Grandma for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Here's a picture of Phineas playing the steel drum and driving along a leaf road.

Silly Glasses

Here's Phin being silly!  

Beech Hill Preserve

We went for a walk up Beech Hill recently.  It was a relatively easy hike along a road.  Phineas ran around and took some "grass breaks."  After we finished the climb we went to a nearby playground for some swinging and sliding.

First Snow

We had our first snow of the season a few days ago.  When Phineas looked out the window he jumped up and down with excitement and then he and mom went straight outside to play in it.  Good thing they did as it melted within a few hours!

Halloween 2012

Fireman Phin went trick-or-treating today and brought home quite a haul.  We wandered the streets of Rockland and saw lots of people, but no other firefighters!  Earlier in the day Phineas went to the library for his usual Wednesday morning story time and Mom took some pictures of him in costume.

Fall 2012

Here are two pictures of Phineas in Fall 2012.  The first is just playing on the lawn and the second is his attempt to get into a paint can to help paint a shelf.

Pumpkin Painting

Phineas brought home a little mini pumpkin and wanted to paint it.  What color did he choose?  Red, of course!

Bald Mountain Preserve

We hike Bald Mountain today.  Phineas walked the entire way up himself, pretending to be a brush rig fire truck, and he walked most of the way down as well.  We had a great weather and stopped for a picnic lunch at the summit!

Here's Phin making a funny face on the summit.
