Leaves are Falling All Around...

We had a lot of leaves in our yard, and this is just half of the tree's worth!  About half of what was left in the tree fell down that night after I raked.  Figures!

Here are some more pictures that Marianne took:

 

Dinosaurs!! and other fun

I know, I'm behind... here are some photos of our trip to the NC Museum of Life and Science (something like that).  One of the things I really liked about this museum is that it focused on flora and fauna found in NC.  Get a load of some of the bones found here!

Not 5 minutes after getting into the van to go home, both boys fell asleep.  I knew they wouldn't nap at home if I woke them up, so I went for an impromptu scenic drive around Raleigh until they woke up.  It was such a gorgeous drive!  The sun was shining, leaves were turning, and all combined to a breathtaking, illuminated landscape like something out of a poem or painting.  Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, so I was in heaven taking it all in.

After we got home we raked up some leaves to play in:

I've got some cute videos to post but for some reason Blogger video rejects every single one.  I'm working on uploading them to YouTube, but it's slow going at the moment.  Keep an eye out for them!
