Fall

Some random shots from this past fall.

We loved this vibrant Japanese maple tree in our front yard.

I decided a field trip to the zoo was in order on one particularly beautiful fall day in November. It was the first time I braved it with the trio on my own and was thrilled with how well it went. Needless to say, the kids had a blast!

Here they are under the polar bear exhibit, watching the polar bears play in the water. It was awesome and so fun to see their reactions.

At the zoo:

We love having so many trees on our property, but as a result, had LOTS of leaves to rake this fall. A great excuse to be outdoors!

Titus

My helper, Lydia. The girl loves to help out, whether it's raking leaves, emptying the dishwasher, or sorting laundry. Just hoping that trend will continue in the years to come!

All three of my helpers:

Katelyn was thrilled to discover that she can climb one of the trees in our yard, and spent much of her time in this position.

We used a wagon to transport the leaves the backyard where we'd dump them over the bank. Lydia and Titus enjoyed the rides back and forth.
