It must be Fall

Here in Southern California, the traditional signs of fall are few. A little over a week ago, we had high temperatures around 110. The trees don't really display fall colors...they are either still green or have already gone from green straight to brown. Here is what we've been doing to feel the autumn spirit...

This past weekend we went apple picking. The orchards didn't open until September 1, and they were already nearly picked clean only a month later...so it wasn't as cool as we thought it would be. We did manage to fill a bag & the boys (especially Isaac) had at least a little bit of fun.

Ryan was just in Utah for work, and he brought the boys back some mini pumpkins from their Grandma Leitch. They had a fun time painting them tonight.

Fun times! My mom likes to tell us how she hates the lack of seasons down there in SoCal...though I'm fairly certain she and my dad are there to stay. :) Of course, I'm kind of partial to the warm winters, myself. (That being said, I haven't really LIVED there for a good 12 years or so now...) :)

Your boys are so CUTE!!!
