Autumn Fun

It literally pains me to see summer fading into fall, but these past few days of crisp autumn weather have been too beautiful to not celebrate.

The boys love their fireman rain jackets--they wear them rain or shine, in fact! On this afternoon, we took a really laid-back nature walk....collected leaves, sampled blackberries, heckled the cows, and tossed rocks into the river.

Doesn't nature make the perfect playground?

On Saturday, I had to pull teeth to convince Aaron to join us for our family-on-wheels cruise down the trail, but once Aaron strapped on his rollerblades he loved it! We made quite the sight: Aaron and I on rollerblades pushing Ben in the stroller, Hank riding his bike, and Max trying to keep up on his scooter.

This afternoon, the boys and I got crafty and made these fun little Halloween spiders out of egg cartons and pipe cleaners.
