Fall Leaves

Every year in the fall we take a family drive up the canyon to look at leaves. This year we live in a new place, which means a new canyon. We went up Hobble Creek Canyon, and it was beautiful. I don't know if we just picked the perfect time to go, or what, but the colors we saw this time were the best we've seen in years. My little point and shoot does not even begin to do it justice.

Lincoln called to talk to my mom tonight and this is what he told her, "Gramma, we saw leaves, in the forest! And cow pies, two of them!" When we got out to walk around and gather leaves, we did indeed see two cow pies. And I only pointed them out to the boys so that they wouldn't step in them, but apparently, they were a highlight.

We gathered red, yellow, orange, and a few green leaves, so that tomorrow we can do our annual autumn collage. That will be fun, and Lincoln must remember doing it last year because he was really excited about it. Ivan was all about finding leaves. When we let him out of the van he started marching and said, "Were going to hunt some leaves!" I have cute kids. :)
