I love Fall!

It was surprisingly warm today so I packed the kids up and headed out to our local state park for a hike. The leaves are past their peak, so the hills were just COVERED with beautiful colors. I usually plop the kids into a leaf pile in our front yard, but that also requires a lot of raking. So I figured I might try for a cute picture or ten during the hike. I was right. Jordan LOVES the outdoors and leaves are no different then playing in sand or dirt or rocks. She was very happy.

We had fun. At one point, I had Jordan singing a hiking song, Cam was singing a different hiking song and I was just enjoying the complete silliness of it all.

Speaking of music. Apparently Daddy isn’t allowed to sing. Cam went through a similar stage. But Jordan yells “NO DADDY!” when he starts singing. So I’ve got her trained to say: “Stop please” and then he stops. During this afternoon’s hike, I was not allowed to sing. She is very demanding!

OH! And in the last couple of days, Jordan is finally saying “Cameron.” She still won’t say her name, but at least she is working on saying her brother’s name.
