Fall

Fall is beautiful here. We often are blessed with a reasonably dry, warm September and October. The leaves are changing colors and falling (and next week I will be able to tell you exactly why, as we will be doing a week on the study of L-Leaves). There are farm stands to visit, pumpkins to pick (or- if you are L- try and lift even though they are as heavy as you are) and hay bale mazes to navigate. The coast is often a fairly pleasant place to visit this time of year. Not Hawaii by any stretch of the imagination, and we laugh because we invariably forget that. Going to the beach? Fun! But don't forget your 10 layers of clothing and goggles to protect your eyes from the blowing wind and sand! This year, though, September went out on an unusually warm day. September 30th- ahem- anyone know the importance of this day? was in the 80's and the kids literally played in the sprinkler on top of the fallen leaves & then ate Popsicles.

Here are some pictures of our September and October:
(the picture of the kids on the pumpkins looking away? Just proof that they can all look in the same direction at once, just not at the camera!)
