Autumn in Alabama

We had a very beautiful autumn this year. I wasn't expecting much as everyone told us that it didn't get cold enough here for a real fall. They said that the leaves just gradually turned brown and fell off. Luckily for us, this year was different, and the trees were very colorful. Of course the kids and I had to go out and play and Vance collected leaves in a bag like he was trick or treating.

Caleb loves being outside, though he was a bit frustrated that he couldn't walk on the uneven ground.

He was more interested in pine cones and sticks than in leaves.

Vance was excited that I let him wear his rain boots.
