Sometimes, as I sat in Naomi's hospital room, I thought about the fall we were missing: the apple orchards and lakes, the crisp sunshine and the colorful leaves. So when Indian Summer made its glorious appearance last week, I tried to make the most of it, beginning with visiting the nearby orchard last Saturday with our cousins.

I marveled at the colorful ridge of trees just across the highway. |
 |
| Even our house seemed to fit in better with the fall weather. |
 |
| We watched the farmer harvest the bean field outside our front porch. |
 |
| Then we went to the orchard again! This time with a home school group. |
 |
| This girl gets thirsty! |
Yesterday was Matt's day off for the week, and the weather couldn't have been more beautiful with sunny skies and 75 degrees, so we took the kids to a nearby lake for some playground fun and wading.

| Emma looks like she's in a guillotine here :) |
 |
| Beautiful swans...of course, you can't tell they're hissing at the kids! |
 |
| So much for rolling up the pant legs...good thing I brought spare clothes. |
 |
| Beautiful summer,... |
 |
| ...farewell until next year. |
WOW ~ looks like a lot of fun!
