Last week, to celebrate the official start of Autumn we took a little nature walk at a nearby park. I just love this park because there is so much space, that I don't worry about the kids running too far ahead of me.
We had a really fun time exploring. Anthony spotted some lilypads, but to his mild disappointment, no frogs. We saw a squirrel in a tree making a really weird noise that I had no idea squirrels were even capable of making. We came to the conclusion that he may have been sick, or singing us a song. Lukie made friends with a couple of ducks. We observed the very dark gray skies, and predicted that it would begin raining sometime during the day. Not even 5 minutes later, we were running as fast as we could back to the car, laughing and screaming through a downpour!
Oh, how I love Autumn!
My little Luke especially loves that I am not constantly asking him to 'wait' or 'come back'. He is ever the explorer.
Our mission was to observe nature in the beginning of Autumn, and collect things we find on the ground.

So cute! And you know what? I have some incredibly noisy squirrels living in our trees. They sing to us ALL. THE. TIME.
