The rest of Fall Break

Wyatt and Hallee pulled out these battle bots and the kids have had fun playing with them.  Jonah got the new Dragon Watch book so he has been reading a lot.

Wyatt had fun making a car out of a box.  Keith helped him make duct tape suspenders so he didn't have to hold it up.

On Monday we dropped Caitlyn off at tennis and then me, Hallee and Wyatt went to hike Battle Creek Falls with Tiff and the kids.

Hallee and Tessa wanted to be in front on the way up and on the way down they said they wanted to be in the back so no one would bother them!  I love that they are always playing some make-believe game.

Of course I loved all of the Fall colors.

The kids all found a stick that they were excited about.

Wyatt is obsessed with steep climbing right now.  He kept asking to climb up hills.  It is hard to know when I need to relax and let him do things and when I should say no because it's too dangerous.

The kids loved stopping on the bridge to play in the water.

Wyatt was constantly on the lookout for a hill to climb.

The views were beautiful.

Waterfall hikes are my favorite.  I love the sound of water and the mist from the waterfall.

Sister selfie!  We love spending time with Tiff and the kids!

We stayed at the waterfall for a few minutes and then headed back down.

I had to get another picture of that beautiful view!

Wyatt and Rockwell had fun sword fighting with their sticks.  After the hike we went to a park and let the kids play for a while.  The weather was perfect!

Monday night we carved pumpkins.  Jonah couldn't stand the smell so he just watched.

Wyatt and Caitlyn were so excited to carve the pumpkins.

Hallee wanted to paint her pumpkins.

Keith carved Jonah's pumpkin since he didn't want to.

They turned out cute.

Wyatt has been talking nonstop about carving pumpkins, so I'm glad he can move on with his life now!

We only had one good candle so we could only light one pumpkin, but the kids were happy with how they turned out.

Hallee looked so sweet sleeping tonight.

I took this picture a couple of weeks ago.  I love when my kids fall asleep reading. 

I took a few pictures on my walk today.  I can't get over how beautiful the river trail is.  

 I just love living so close to the trail.  I love that most of the trail is shaded with big, beautiful trees and I love hearing the rushing water in the river while I walk.
