Moving to the Phoenix area I had to give up my love for Fall foliage that for the past 9 years I've have grown to love and anticipate each year. Growing up in Astoria, Fall didn't mean color, it was green and beautiful like the rest of the year, but my first Fall in Utah I became fan. And then it got better in Maryland and trips to Virginia and then of course continued in New York. Even last year in Oregon City it was very beautiful, but this year, we are still in summer season, at least to me it feels like summer. So, to give me a little Fall joy we headed up north to Oak Creek Canyon. It was a beautiful drive and although we had missed the peak time it was enough to make me happy.
Ty had a blast in the leaves and did his best to copy his big sister.
We don't do a whole lot of hiking with three kids, but we were able to find an easy access stream to explore for a while.
She may be doing a silly walk, but the background on this picture kills me! It is so beautiful!
I love how Ty's shirt is completely pulled up and showing his tummy. This is how family pictures work around here!

every fall chad begs me to move back east again so he can get his fall fix.
Look at that - your leaves are dry! My girls are dying to play in the leaves, but they're just too soggy here! Looks like a great day, guys!
