I missed a bunch of leaves this year. I couldn’t quite make it to the leaves when they were peaking at the higher elevations and then all of a sudden we had a few nights in the 20s and all the leaves in town started dropping at once. We have some definite leaf raking (and flinging) plans for this weekend.

These are from a few weeks ago when we took an impromptu drive up to once of the mountain lakes on early release day from school.

I love reflected leaves

Spencer was very in to posing that day. ‘Look mom, I’m a werewolf.”

I made my husband hold his foot out of frame.

I tried so hard to get a christmas card shot in the tangled roots. The kids were unable to get on the same page… facially. This one of Truman is cute though.

“Take a picture of my rock,” he said. Ok then.
