A Fall Walk with Some of my Favorites!

A few photos from our fall walk along the Cedar River! Many thanks to Auntie Sam and Glenda for coordinating it!  It was lovely!!

I had to climb an embankment to make this shot...talk about making the hubs nervous -- I'm not exactly graceful at the best of times, and pregnancy has not increased my balance... 

Uncle Isaac Monster in action! Doesn't Ava look terrified? 


More cool 'shrooms! 


I just want to kiss these cheeks all the time! 


Look at this toothless girl!  Doesn't she look just like her mama? 


He's not exactly "sneaky"... 


Uncle I helped Noah find quite the stick! 


Sword fighting is this little guy's favorite! 
Note Ava's stance...Noah was so excited to have a real participant in Uncle I! 





Noah: "I will take this stick and I will kill a bear with it"
Me: "Hmmm...that sign says 'No Hunting,' sorry buddy!"
Noah: "We-ell, maybe a little farther along there will not be a sign, and then I will kill a bear." 

He stayed prepared for the rest of the walk... 


What a gentleman I married! 


I love helicopters! 


Over to Gene Coulon for some chowdah and a few more pictures... 


So cool -- remote controlled sail boats! 



Nevermind the goose poop everywhere, this boy's gonna jump into and roll through the leaf pile! 





My beautiful sister: 



And now, this post wouldn't be complete without some of Noah's one liners from the day: 

“Hey Auntie, when is that egg in your belly gonna hatch?”

(while swinging a big stick): “I could crack that egg for you if you mind” 
Isaac: “Uh, no thanks, buddy!”
Noah: “I was actually talking to auntie”

“Is auntie going to take more family pictures today, because....(motions to outfit)?” (He would have preferred cozy pants (fleece sweats) and a sweatshirt, to be sure. haha! Turns out I DID take his picture, and for the most part, he’s pretty cool with it... emphasis on for the most part.

  1. Love, LOVE it! Noah has pretty good form for sword fighting. I'm glad he had a real, live person to fight with. Uncle I is a very good sport. Ava certainly did look scared to death of Uncle's Mean Monster face. HA! Love the Fall photos of the lush, dank forest with the brilliant colored leaves. I can almost smell Fall.
