Fall Time In Minnesota

We have been so lucky this year to have gorgeous fall weather.  It felt like summer well into October, and we have been enjoying every minute of it. 

One Saturday, our neighbors were raking their yard while I was out with Miley riding her scooter.  She found her way into their yard, and was raking and jumping in the leaves in no time (in her summer dress, no less).  Before we knew it, all the kids from our street were joining in the fun, and we spent the rest of the morning playing with leaves, throwing footballs, etc.

This next picture of Cameron cracks me up...have you ever seen someone look so happy to be raking leaves?  Ha ha!

Landon took in the action from afar...

...and he was also busy flirting with the little neighbor girl.

Even when we were inside during the nice weather, both Miley and Landon would sit at the front door longing to go out...

But unfortunately, as we all know when it comes to nice weather in Minnesota, all good things must come to an end.  A few short days later instead of running around outside and jumping in leaves in dresses and short sleeves the scene looked a little more like this...

But the rain, cooler temperatures, darkness falling earlier and earlier, and being increasingly stuck inside won't keep these two from smiling anyway...



Although I am missing the warm weather, there is something really nice about fall...the colors, the smells, pulling out the cozy sweaters...I know I will be feeling the complete opposite in a few months, but for now I am glad that summer is on it's way out and fall is in full force. 

It's been a good run, summer....we will see you next year!
