Looking back, we typically vacation in cabin rentals. We did for our honeymoon, for Christmas and we even rented a one room cabin at a KOA when <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/2012/10/niagara-falls-american-side.html" target="_blank">we went to Niagara Falls</a>. Ryan did the same when he surprised me with <a href="http://www.visiblymoved.blogspot.com/2014/10/things-to-do-in-october-around-new.html" target="_blank">this New Hampshire vacation</a>! For this trip he chose to rent a cabin on a picturesque lake in North Conway, NH. Vacation rentals can be found all over the inter-webs simply by googling the location and cabin rentals. There is always Craigslist (be careful of scams) and vrbo.com where Ryan found this cabin.</div>

<i><b><u>Reasons I like to vacation in rental cabins:</u></b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">- We could invite lots of friends and family to join us.</span><br /><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">- We could bring our dog <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/search/label/Glacier" target="_blank">Glacier</a>!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- There's a kitchen to cook our own meals, which is very attractive if you are <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/search/label/Allergy%20Free" target="_blank">allergy free</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- We could relax! and not always have to be on the go to find our next meal or place to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- We could take advantage of the property for things we would have to pay for if we were staying in a hotel. In this cabin we were able to swim (at all hours, even the night), have camp fires, kayak, canoe, grill and enjoy the scenery!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- We could play loud music and laugh all night during our spade tournaments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm already wondering where our next vacation rental will be!</div>

Ryan surprised me with an trip to New Hampshire last week before our lives started to get a little hectic busy. It sure was an amazing surprise. He put so much planning into it by renting us a lake cabin and secretly inviting our friends to join us up there. I really had no idea all of it was being planned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We ended up going up to New Hampshire during prime time when all the leaf peepers (yes that is what they are really called!) head up to see the tree colors. This post is to tell you the places we went to see to act more as a guide for others looking for activities while there. I will be posting more about our adventures and the lake cabin a little later.</div>

Let me first start out saying we were in the North Conway, NH area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything we did was within an hours drive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mt. Washington</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was truly great. The trip up and down were narrated and was informative as you took in the views. I've <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/2013/11/mt-washington-and-my-veteran.html" target="_blank">driven to the top</a> of Mt. Washington before on the Auto Road and I preferred the railway to driving for the simple fact I wasn't so worried for my life the entire time. If that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, both ways up are good. Or even better, hike it! Anyway you do it, get to the top of Mt. Washington!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lincoln, NH</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Flume is a natural gorge with a waterfall/river going through. Plank ways were built so we were able to walk right into the gorge. It was breathtaking and unexpected. We ended up walking the full loop hike instead of going back down through the gorge which I wish we would have gone back through just to see it again.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mt. Loon, Lincoln, NH</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This activity wasn't my favorite. To me it felt like a regular ride up a ski lift and it made me motion sick on the way down. Although, the view on top was good and there was a neat glacier cave trail.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We caught a sunrise here! There is a road to the top, which we took, but you can also hike to the top. The view is perfect for the sunrise. We brought our hiking stove and made breakfast on top.</div>

That is what we fit into our too short vacation up to New Hampshire. We also spent time enjoying our cabin and kayaking on the lake. New Hampshire has "Brake for Moose" signs everywhere and did I see one moose?.... no. Anyway have any of you been to New Hampshire? What did you do while you were there? I'd love to hear.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love decorating this time of year, especially with all the gourds and mini pumpkins you can get from an orchard. I usually get the gourds and set them on the deck railings or up the stairs but this year I wanted to try something a little different and make a wreath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4R5AMbKseAEkGuwNxQXhYdz1D032hiU9bOQxp7pCFuAVi1OlrEbGdQDqoYWGY-qYcZ41Q2sv9wbsbGQU-vVhyphenhyphenXJc5Zhpu4XYct8iJ_nuIuKyQeXtYlN-3MeSyC7ZY71yGJLm-FMW2qsm/s1600/Wreath8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4R5AMbKseAEkGuwNxQXhYdz1D032hiU9bOQxp7pCFuAVi1OlrEbGdQDqoYWGY-qYcZ41Q2sv9wbsbGQU-vVhyphenhyphenXJc5Zhpu4XYct8iJ_nuIuKyQeXtYlN-3MeSyC7ZY71yGJLm-FMW2qsm/s1600/Wreath8.jpg" height="500" width="700" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't love buying materials for DIY projects and tend to make due with what I have on hand, so instead of buying a wreath base I made it all from ivy in the yard.</div>

<b>Ivy</b> - I used some that was growing up trees in my front yard, I know one kind was English Ivy but I'm not sure what the other type of ivy I grabbed was. Although, I know it wasn't poisonous, so don't be grabbing any poison oak. Any branch or ivy (non-poisonous) that is bending will probably work for this.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start by making one of the ivy branches into a circle and then secure and then continue to add ivy branches until it looks like a full wreath. Secure each main branch as you go and I tucked the off shooting branches in where they fit so they didn't stick out everywhere.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then lay out where you want your gourds and/or mini pumpkins before you start securing so you get the look you want.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now start securing the gourds and pumpkins to the wreath with your wire. This is the hardest part. I have no great way to do this. A little tip though is to know which way is up when you will be hanging your wreath and wire according to which way gravity will be pulling.</div>

Back in June we went camping at the Pachaug State Forest (I've been a bit busy in the meantime having a baby and all so I'm just posting it now). It was a campsite where you parked and had to hike into so you only brought what you could fit on your back. Carrying everything in isn't as easy as it may sound; it's the camp fire wood and water that really make things heavy, but on the way out it's a lot lighter!</div>

The campsite was free, we just had to register online so we knew it wasn't taken. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it is no dogs allowed though.... (shhh don't tell).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hike in was only about a mile or so and had a shelter to prop your tent up in. We brought books and some good food to cook over the fire. It was probably one of the most relaxing camping trips we've had together. The state forest also has another free shelter to hike into that we would like to try out sometime.</div>

Are any of you going camping this Fall? I might be too soft to handle the cold.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8tMMjBwNQHVfOrTzMIuC5soF2P8KNVsBBMOXDCtBUDnpJERZaFb_cRzpWB56TiKKuyuyqLNg7ytPL5QKIf8SX-TgSvK8J04CjO59J859Jqn-qoB8lDTSrcUwgExwxN0HouGZDABuFTJje/s1600/CSA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8tMMjBwNQHVfOrTzMIuC5soF2P8KNVsBBMOXDCtBUDnpJERZaFb_cRzpWB56TiKKuyuyqLNg7ytPL5QKIf8SX-TgSvK8J04CjO59J859Jqn-qoB8lDTSrcUwgExwxN0HouGZDABuFTJje/s1600/CSA.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were new to the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) concept this year. We heard about a local CSA early last spring from a co-worker and decided to check it out for a few reasons:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) We wanted to spend less on healthy food. (Eating allergy free/organic can be expensive!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) We are bad about actually going to grocery store to get food therefore eating out a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) We love fresh local food but don't have a place to grow it ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we went to check out the farm. This particular farm had meat as an option for the CSA (I guess most only do vegetables). They raise chickens (for meat and eggs) and pigs. So basically one goes weekly to pick up their 'share' as they call it and you get about $20 - $30 worth of local, seasonal food. The share we choose we got contained vegetables, fruits, herbs, eggs, and meat (chicken and pork alternating each week).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>What I thought of it: </u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I liked the experience so much I also signed us up for the Autumn share without the eggs though. I'm allergic to eggs so Ryan was on his own and just didn't eat enough of them so many were wasted. In the future we will just buy a dozen eggs from them here and there when Ryan wants them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was concerned at first about the meat because they supplemented their chickens with soy and was hoping I wouldn't have a reaction being I'm allergic to soy and all. Thankfully I didn't have a reaction to any of the meat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every other week we got a whole chicken which is a bit daunting to cut and cook. I'm still working on this, and still maybe a little scared (I have seven whole chickens in freezer right now). I'm looking for easy ways to cook this whole bird if you have any suggestions. I will be trying it in the crock pot this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We always ate our pork immediately each week we got it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for the vegetables, there were some I didn't care for, or maybe didn't know what to do with such as the turnups but this was rare. Our farmers often let us choose, for example we could pick up one eggplant OR a couple bell peppers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ate more of a variety of vegetables than usual. I sometimes get in a rut and buy the same familiar things at the grocery store but with the CSA I ate what was in season. For a while, I had zucchini in my stir fry a few times a week or made a green bean casserole; two vegetables I NEVER would have bought on my own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you eat Paleo or eat allergy free you can't go wrong with a CSA like this. So if you have any in your area, I encourage you to go check it out and see if it would be a good fit for your lifestyle.</div>

We went to the Roger Williams <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/2013/11/pumpkin-specatacular.html" target="_blank">Pumpkin Spectacular</a> for our third year. You bet we will be going back for our annual trip this year.</div>

Last year I was able to fly home to my parent's house during their business season at <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/2013/10/my-parents-had-dream.html" target="_blank">Nature's Select Orchard</a> and I loved it! Wish I could have gone this year but we plan on going at a different time this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime I have to find some orchards or pumpkin patches in New England worth going to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay tuned, I'll let you know what I find and the other adventures this season brings.</div>

I have family coming out to visit me in June. They have been out here several times before so we always try to find something a little different to do each time. I put together a list of things we may do in the CT/RI area this June. I'll be sure to report back after the visit.<br />

There is a new trail that opened up by us. It is only about a mile or two long but it is packed with New England beauty. It has a marshy area with lots of fun birds. Glacier went in for a dip but came out half brown. The trail also walks past several farms, one with horses!</div>

I've taken an expected break from blogging since November. Our lives were hit with a very sad event and a very happy event that took up a lot of my time and energy. I'm back now and very much looking forward of what is to come for this blog and a special collaboration with <a href="http://amandalouiseblog.blogspot.com/">AmandLouise</a>! (More on this will surely be announced soon!).</div>

This winter has probably been the worst one yet for me (and that says a lot because I'm from <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/search/label/Wisconsin">Wisconsin</a>!) and thank God it is now Spring! Spring really is a <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/2012/04/spring-new-beginnings.html">new beginning</a>.</div>

Rachael from <a href="http://www.tumbleweedsandtantrums.blogspot.com/">Tumbleweeds and Tantrums</a> hosted all of us military families that weren't going home for the holiday. A few weeks before the big event she told me she wanted a sit down meal and wanted my help. I don't think she will ever know how happy that made me asking for my help! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to work right away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom mailed me all the pumpkins and gourds we used for the day from <a href="http://www.naturesselectorchard.net/">Nature's Select Orchard</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rachael got her table inspiration from <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/rachael0403/thanksgiving-dinner-2013/">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made all the gals flower crowns and everyone got a place cards with inspiration from <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/VisiblyMoved/thanksgiving-love/">here</a>.</div>

I've been hearing friends and family say they got a jump on Christmas this year and are already done with all of their shopping. I love Christmas time and all it represents but it seems unnatural to me to start all the celebration before Thanksgiving! Don't get me wrong, I put up the Christmas decorations and listen to Christmas music 24/7 but only starting the day after Thanksgiving. I also just want to hang onto Autumn as long as I can because it's also one of my favorite times. This fall, I was able to go home to my parents orchard to help out and I took a billion pictures. Here are some more images to keep us all in the Autumn season and don't forget everything you are thankful for!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A few weeks ago we took a day off of work and headed up to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. It is the</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;"> highest peak in the N</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ortheastern United States</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> at 6,288 ft but is most known for it's dangerous ever changing weather. The Mountain has claimed many lives (even a couple a few weeks before we were there) due to the sudden changes of weather, high wind speeds, and the rough terrain. There is an <a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/">O</a></span></span><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/">bservatory</a></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> at the top that records all the </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">extreme</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">weather</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">. The day we spent there was beautiful, </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">surprisingly,</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> because it was already September! There was hardly any wind and I really didn't even need a coat.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">I've never climbed the Mountain (yet) but this was Ryan's fourth time hiking up it. This time he was on a mission though; to climb it in less than 2 hours. I'm not sure of the official record but we think it's around one hour and fifteen minutes.</span></span></span></div>

It's an hour long ride up the opposite side of the mountain</div>

This was really intense for me. I dropped Ryan off at the base of the trail and told him I would meet him up there. I wasn't planning on driving up but had planned to take the train up. Well, we found out that the train was on the opposite side of the Mountain than the trail head so it wasn't feasible for me to drive an hour to the other side. I panicked a little, prayed a lot and then just got in the line to drive up. I refused to look over the edge or even out my window driving up. I only looked at the road in front of me. I was having nervous flashbacks to <a href="http://visiblymoved.blogspot.com/2013/02/arizona-day-six-part-2.html">this scary road</a> in AZ. My method worked for me and I made it up. </div>

This is the gravel part of the road. Complete drop off! and yes it's a two lane road so you do have to be all the way over to the edge on the way down. Thankfully we drove down after they stopped letting cars up that day so I had the road to myself.</div>

I'm so proud of Ryan for more than just his ability to conquer mountains but also for serving in the United States Navy for nine years. I've seen the sacrifices he's made because of his service and I feel like a thank you once a year will never be enough.</div>

It was a fun night but we learned some lessons from this one that we won't repeat next time. We decided to make a day of it and started cooking in the afternoon and figured we would slowly pull it all together in plenty of time to snap photos while the sun is still out and casually wait for our guests to arrive. Well, we ended up frantically trying to cook everything, especially Amanda's pumpkin pie, and just felt this time crunch we weren't expecting. We did pull it all together but with better planning (making the food the night before, or in the morning) we can enjoy the fun part much more (all the decorating and DIY's)!!</div>

These guys are still taking us on their daily hike each night. We are so blessed to live where we do so we can just walk out our door and go for a long hike.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our autumn hikes are consisting of a lot of boulder hopping. Glacier gets nervous if he doesn't have a running start so he will just sit at the bottom of a boulder and whine. Azul is still the boulder hopping champion. He's like Ryan and if it was up to him he would only hop from rock to rock and not touch the ground.</div>

This was our third annual visit to the <a href="http://www.rwpzoo.org/178/jack-o-lantern-spectacular">Pumpkin Spectacular at the Roger Williams Zoo</a> in Providence, RI. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I forgot how impressive it was with over 5,000 pumpkins before we began walking down the trail. This year's theme was the various regions of the U.S.A and they blasted the appropriate music for each place you were currently looking at. Did you know Rhode Island has a song?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check it out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig2daWp-Pls">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I think the bottom two pumpkins are meant for WI.; a deer and a cow with the word "Cheese" above it. I didn't find any pumpkin for CT but what would even be on in? There were many pumpkins for New England of lighthouses and lobsters and such.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you get a chance to check it out, it's defiantly worth it.</div>

I was able to see some of the journey the apples go through to get costumer ready.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My parents were blessed with an abundance of apples this year so almost everyday I was there, they were picking, polishing and packing their apples.</div>

My parents started an apple orchard after my sister and I went off to college, all by themselves. With God's help and a lot of hard work, they made their dreams come true. I've seen the orchard each year in it's off season because I typically flew home in the summer and winter time. This year, I made sure to fly home for their third season open. I fell in love with the orchard life! I will surely be posting more soon about the daily life on a working orchard.</div>

Each season of our life shapes and transforms us. All important and necessary in their own way. I find great relief in this knowing that my hardship isn't in vain and God is in control of my shifting seasons, whether it be the growth of spring or the harshness of winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My job is not to resist the new seasons and get stuck but to let God transform me.</div>

Last week I was up in New Hampshire and I brought my camera knowing I was going to be surrounded by mountains. Each morning I woke up to this pond with a raft and snapped a picture with my iphone on my walk to the convention center. These moments were breath taking for me each morning. I only took out my dslr camera once all week while hiking to a waterfall.</div>

I was walking past the allergy free frozen foods section at the grocery store that happens to be across from the allergy filled pizza section. I had just got done picking out a pizza per my husbands request when I walked across the aisle sulking wishing I could have pizza. Companies have tried to make a suitable pizza for me but have always come short. Yes, they finally got a gluten free pizza... but it has cheese all over it. Yes they finally have a gluten free, dairy free pizza.... oh but the cheese is soy. I almost didn't even bother looking but the <a href="http://www.daiyafoods.com/">daiya</a> brand caught my eye. I knew they made soy free, dairy free cheese and was hopeful when I first saw this but realized that they probably don't specialize in gluten free also. I looked closer. It was also gluten free! Tears were wanting to come out as I looked around at other shoppers wanting to tell them what I just found.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I noticed on the back of the pizza box other new products and noticed that they make cream cheese also! I looked around at my grocery store but they don't carry it... yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought the cheese pizza and cooked it straight away when I got home. I added some pepperoni to the pizza before cooking it and probably would have added a bit more, because I don't like just plain cheese pizza, but didn't have the patience to cut veggies up before eating the pizza.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pizza was good! I will defiantly be buying it often and keeping my eye out for that cream cheese.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
