Reveling in the Autumn wonders of Michigan

Nathan and i enjoyed having a much smaller amount of leaves to deal with this year. Raking the leaves was actually done mostly by me, which I am quite proud of. I earned my keep in the yard work department. So Madalyn was napping at this time while the rest of us worked on the leaves. Corbin particularly enjoyed jumping into the piles that we made. It was fun.

He kept getting covered completely by leaves because he would just sit there and let us throw the leaves on him.

More Zoo pictures :D

Does anyone else ever feel sorry for the animals in the zoo? I certainly do! Especially this poor guy. He looked so dejected. But it made for a few fun pictures.

Rarrrr! The lion crazies!

Patagonian hares! Weird little rabbit cousins.

Nate and the poor little Mandrill. He looks so sad! :(

Nature Center with the Miller's

I love Nature! These heart shaped leaves say it all! Our friends the Miller's took the kids and I to a great Nature Center where we got to walk trails and see some wildlife. We had a great time and I got a lot of pictures!

We saw this bunny and he wasn't even fazed by us.

Looking for fish in the pond.

The sun was high and hot that day :) I liked how our shadows looked when we were walking.

Madalyn loved watching the fish and turtles.

These two weren't even bothered by us. Just soaking up the sun.

I love how these pictures turned out! I love how the light plays on the leaves.

It looks like they are walking through the veil of heaven :)


Corbin and Miles are great friends.

The boys had a wondeful time exploring the trails.
