Sunday Snapshots: An Autumn Walk

Yesterday was one of those delightful November-y days...crisp, chilly air, but radiant sunshine, and our fall foliage is at its peak. Just right for an autumn walk through the woods. So after a lunch of Cream Cheese Chicken Soup, sweet potato biscuits made by 7-year-old Owen (love that!), and hot apple crisp for dessert, we pulled on sweaters and sweatshirts and off we went. 

Alaine (3) won the fall fashion award. :)

The adults mostly walked (on the path).

The children also walked the path,

and on fallen logs.

And they ran,

and trudged through (dry) ditches.

1...2...3!

We all stopped to take a peek at the newly restored tractor that had been Ron's dad's.

 Ben (5), who had been riding in the wagon, decided to give his brothers a ride.

He did not want help. The determined boy was almost horizontal as he tugged!

One more stop...to pick up some hand-me-down guttering.

Papa put all the kids to work carrying the longest piece (it was l-o-n-g, but not heavy), 

and we joked that they looked like the Whos carrying their Christmas tree.

Back at home, it was time for some outdoor play...

or back inside for a cup of tea.
