The rain stopped, the clouds parted, and the sun shone brightly in the sky.  This means only one thing around here:  Stop what you're doing and get outside, fast!  The fall leaves are beautiful here so Ethan, Landon, and I went on a leaf-peeping adventure.  No need to drive out to the countryside or through the nearest canyon.  We saw plenty of colors right on our street.

Our walk took us to the lake with lots of hungry ducks and yes, we are lucky to have a lake at the end of our street.

Bean scored--Blackberries!  "Delicious and free."

Landon miraculously didn't fall in the lake.  Success!
