Let Fall Begin!

Have I said yet how much I love Fall? It seems like there are a million things to do. Between Fall Festivals, Craft Fairs, Pumpkin Patches, and just enjoying the last warm days of the year, we are go, go, going all the time.

Saturday was Fire Safety Day at the Evergreen Fire Department and boy did they put on a nice event. There were bucket rides on the big aerial ladder truck, the kids got to test out a fire hose, they met firemen and women and the county sheriff.

Isn't this cool? How often do you get to do something like this!?

The view from the top... The building on the left is Fletcher & Macy's school, so it's right next to the fire department.


We ate and played and the kids did a short bike safety lesson, after which they got to enter for the chance to win a bike. And win indeed! Both Fletcher and Felix won bikes.


The little girl who won the girl's bike offered Macy her old bike, so we are pretty much the luckiest family ever! These are the first bikes for all three, so they're all just learning how to ride them.

Sunday we went to the zoo. It was a beautiful day and no one was there, so we had run of the whole zoo. Felix especially loved it. This tiger kept jumping up on the glass. Felix would scream and run, then go right back.


And last night I made my first batch of strawberry jam, which will be little Christmas gifts for some of the folks at Marc's school.

I wish October would never end! If you're looking for ways to celebrate Fall, check out my post from last year: What I did today... which gives you 31 ways to savor the season.
