Since my daughter was old enough to talk, all she has ever talked about are horses.  Girls love horses, my daughter is infactuated with them.  All horses all the time.  This past weekend we took her for her first horse ride at Hatfield Farms in Hammonds Plains Nova Scotia.  She was awed and amazed.  What a great day we had.  After our horse ride, we were allowed in the petting zoo then the kids were all given free ice cream!  When we left, she begged and begged us to go to the pet store and buy her a pet horse.. :). 

Annapolis Valley Apple Picking

There is nothing better in my mind that picking apples fresh off the trees in Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia.  This weekend we were blessed with perfect weather for picking.  The day started with a wagon ride to scope out the best trees for picking, off we went with bags in hand and began to pick apples.  Hard to say how many apples actually made it into the bags though :).  Wish we didn't have to say good-bye to summer, but Fall does have its advantages :)

I love Rainbow Haven, it is located off of Bissett Road near where it intersects Cow Bay Rd.  I grew up with this beach, now my children can dip their tiny feet in the very ocean that licked between my toes as I was growing up.  I took these pictures the very last week in August as we said goodbye to Summer :(.
