Beautiful Fall Weather

It was so beautiful a few days ago that we couldn't resist spending nearly the whole day at the park. We played at the playground


found various muddy water puddles (when don't they find muddy water puddles?)


went on a walk in the woods and around the pond


and collected some late-blooming wild flowers and interesting nuts.



It was a wonderful day exploring and reveling in nature. No one wanted to go home! So now the little bouquet of wild flowers sits (in a sippy cup) on my kitchen table to remind me of our day. Fall goes by way too quickly.
