Fall Break

Last weekend was our fall break and it was just starting to look like autumn in front of our house. 

I love seeing the leaves fall although the clean up is not so great. 

David took the day off work to spend time with the family. We packed the kids and dog up in the car and headed up the canyon. 

Savai'i is not a big fan of the car seat, despite its comfy memory foam pad. 

Here we are ready to set out on our hike. 

Welcome to Nunn's Park (not be confused with nuns' park..

They found red leaves

Strong boy!

You can see the falls are getting smaller

"Mom, look!" He wanted to show me everything. So fun to see him explore. Kai was exploring so much I couldn't get him to stand still for a picture. 

See? He's walking away from the camera. Granted he's also walking towards where the sun was shining to warm up. It was chilly and he didn't bring a jacket. 

There was a sprinkling of fall colors all around us. 

We decided to get a closer look at the falls and went up a small, treacherous hiking trail. It didn't looks so bad at first but there were a couple of sketchy spots along the way. 

A nice little path here, but the rocks were slick. 

Mom and baby bringing up the rear. 

These two are hard to keep up with. I don't know where they get all their energy...

We made it up to the falls!

Vai once again chose not to share his priceless facial expression with the camera. 

My rock-climbing-loving boys 

I really do love the mountains here

They tried to race to the bottom but they were called back a lot

Some lovely purple flowers refusing to let go of summer just yet

TJ was done posing for me but he liked going over the bridge. 

Even Princess was all tuckered out after the hike (See TJ's foot in the corner? He was napping also)

It was a fun family activity and a great start to our fall break family weekend.
