I ♥ fall!  Beautiful leaves and time with family.  Our family always gets in the car and with a lunch set out to find fall leaves and the beauty, of the earths colors.  This year we went to a place with sage brush and rocks, I thought there is no way the leaves are up here.  Then just around a bend it was the most brilliant red, and flaming orange.  The kids and I took the chance to carefully select the  leaves we liked.  Then after a week of pressing them in a big book we laminated them and for a family actitivity we made fun leaf mobiles.  The kids once again selected their favorite leafs and we had a fun memorable evening.
