It's Autum time, It's Autum time the leaves are falling down

If you ask Ashlyn what her favorite primary song is a lot of times she will say, "Autum time." She loves the song, but I think she loves the season too. She has been watching the leaves change in our neighborhood over the last couple of weeks and was getting a little impatient that they weren't changing colors or falling to the ground fast enough. She kept looking at me like I was full of it when I would tell her it really was autum time. So on Sunday Brad and I decided to take the kids for a quick trip up American Fork Canyon to see the leaves, and prove it really is autum time!

We need to bring along friends next time so we can get a family shot all together!

This was a last minute idea after church on Sunday so we weren't really prepared with your typical picnic food. Here I am with our smorgasboard meal. Quesadillas with very little cheddar cheese (we were running low) so I supplemented with string cheese, deli turkey, gogurts, and apples! What a meal!

Tanner loving the fact that I gave him an entire apple to himself and didn't cut it up for him to share with his sister.

Loving our apples. Ashlyn loves telling her friends when they are over eating the apples with her that they are from her Grandma and Grandpa's tree.

Ashlyn loved taking us exploring and playing follow the leader. She would also let us know when we needed to hide from pretend skunks. She knows that skunks live in the bushes so she is skeptical of going near any bush that looks suspicious.

The un-even ground posed a little bit of a challenge to Tanner at first, but he quickly got the hang of it!

We made the mistake of stopping to see the Lake. Brad literally had to hold Tanner's upperbody so he didn't go in head first and his lowerbody so he didn't just walk into the Lake. Needless to say we only stayed at the Lake for 2 min.
