September 15, 2007 - Leaf Hunt!

We're going on a leaf hunt
We're going right away
Let's find colorful leaves
it's a beautiful day.....


The kids love the book "We're Going on a Leaf Hunt". It resembles the familiar "Going on a Bear Hunt", except the children in the book are off to find different kinds and colors of leaves and encounter many adventures/obstacles along way. It's a cute book for fall.

We decided to head to the local park, where there is a walking trail back into the woods, to go on our own leaf hunt. Allison, in particular is raring to go- can you tell?

Sam enjoys his perch on Papa's back - he has spent quite a bit of time

in his backpack during our many adventures this summer.

Our leaf hunt quickly turned into "how quickly can we get through the trail and back to the playground".

Fun together on the tire swing. There were many playgrounds throughout the summer that the kids loved to climb on a tire swing together and spin.
