Fall Splendor 2015

We just have to post some pictures of the beautiful fall we were treated to this year.  With Archer around, we had to make a bit more of an effort to get out, but boy was it worth it.

The scooter brigade!

This tree is across the street from our house, and has leaves that range from bright yellow to almost crimson.  We love looking at it.  This year, it lost essentially all of its leaves in one giant gust of wind, and Jenn happened to be there to snap a picture of fall literally happening.

Sometimes, in order to convince the boys that we need to get out to see the leaves AGAIN, we have to bribe them with Potbelly's sandwiches and shakes.  Worth it.

The Chicago Botanic Garden

One of the many giant pumpkins they grow at the Botanic Garden.  When Ellis climbed on we hurriedly told him he had to get off, but then a worker nearby was like, "Oh no, let him climb, that's what it's for."  We couldn't agree more, actually.
