Fall

We've shared before that we have 4 seasons where we live in Brasil.  This tends to be a shock to a lot of Americans as most people think of Brasil as hot all the time.  There are places in Brasil where it is warm year round but we don't live in one of those places. 

Even though we have 4 seasons we don't really have many trees changing colors in the fall or leaves falling off.  

So being here in the states at this time of year has been a new experience for most of our kids. 
 
They've been blessed to see lots of beautiful trees....
....and lots of leaves. 
Garrett and Carys even helped their granddad rake the leaves.  I was impressed at their willingness to help in doing this hard chore.  

They worked hard.  
They also had time to play (can you see Garrett?).....
......as well as ride a lawnmower to finish cleaning up the leaves.
  
We think they like fall.

Great pictures! I especially love the one of the kids. You have done well. Not too many leaves on trees in Colorado - but there is snow!
