Kicking off the fall

October came in with a bang, dropping our temperatures by nearly 20 degrees. Brrrrr!! While we are not happy with the changing seasons, the fall does bring some good things like holidays, baking and family time.

Anyway, we've decided to embrace fall this year and spend as much time outdoors as we can stand, because we only know the gloomy days of Winter are just ahead.

Last weekend, we took the girls to Brazos Bend State Park. If you haven't gone, go! It was so beautiful and their are live alligators all over the park. We did a 1.7 mile walk with the girls and we saw seven on the trail. It was so cool.
