A Taste of Fall...

We had quite the storm roll in on Sunday. The kids bundled up and headed outside to enjoy the "autumn-like" weather. It was really blowing, and the kids thought it was fun to be outside in it! Eryn saw the sky, and wanted the camera - I handed her one of the cameras, and let her take some pictures. She took these first four. She'd like a camera (a REAL camera). Maybe for Christmas, which doesn't seem that far away when we have weather like this. Feels like fall is on the way!




Then she brought the camera back in to me, and I took a couple through the window! You can see how windy it was getting. It got even windier later. It really blew! It kinda destroyed some of my plants outside (good thing they are done blooming and everything). Then it rained, and rained, and rained... and rained some more - all night! We got to hear a little thunder (which I love!) And hey - I don't have to water the grass for a few days!


Monday we were supposed to go swimming... then we heard it would be a bit cool, so we had changed our plans to include a little hike and picnic... but the rain cancelled that out, so we ended up renting a movie and playing games instead, in the comfort of our warm house.

I loved the weather the other night! For some reason when summer is almost over I am so excited to wear long pants and shirts! Cute pics!

Sounds like a great storm. The well needed rain finally arrived for you guys huh? I wish that the weather was cooling off here. No such luck yet. Oh well, I guess we'll survive.
