Fall Outings


We've had such a cold fall so far this year, so when there was a bit of a reprieve from the chilly temperatures, I made a point to get us all outdoors. We didn't go anywhere far or terribly exciting, but it was still so good to get out. One day we met up with friends at a nearby nature center. The kids loved walking through the woods and playing along the bank of a river.







Then another afternoon it was just too beautiful and warm to stay inside, so we took a walk to a park on the other side of our neighborhood. I could have looked at these amazing shades of orange and yellow all day. Gorgeous.


Isaac loved playing inside this tunnel.

And peeking through, which made me laugh.

For some reason Silas chose quite the ensemble for a trip to the park. You can see he has his trusty binoculars. The shirt he's wearing is Tom's shirt from when he was a little boy and went on a family trip to Hawaii. Seriously.

This particular park has sand for the kids to play in, which kept them occupied for the longest time.



And the leaves. It's such fun to tromp through the leaves.

Just Millie.

And her footprint.
So thankful for days like these.
