Finding fall color when you live in the desert can be a challenge, but we managed to go up in the mountains for a bit of "leaf-peeping" and exercise. Taking the kids along always makes it interesting!
 |
| Our Moms said we could go for a hike if we behaved ourselves. |
 |
| Ollie was a bit of a challenge cuz he was interested in everything! |
 |
| For Pete's sake, Ollie, if you fall in that stream.... how did you get out there? |
 |
| "Ollie, come down!" "Here, let me get you." |
 |
"See Tansy, a sparkle rock. Mom says it's Mica, but my friend Micah
isn't here, so I don't think it's his at all." |
 |
Mom said there's a mouse hiding in this pinecone
and I can see his hind legs and tail.
I'll just wait till he comes out. |
 |
| See Mom, we're being good! |
 |
| Ruthie makes a "leaf angel!" |
 |
| "Ollie, lay down and we'll bury you in pretty leaves!" |
 |
| "What, Mom? No, we're not 'up to' anything....." |
 |
| "Dogpile on Ollie!" |
 |
Outside of a little "derring-do" with crossing
the stream, we've been good today! |
 |
| Just your average little angels..... |
