Fall Walks

It is that time of year again, my favorite time of year.  The air is crisp, the leaves are changing.  The bugs are dying..... It is definitely fall.

We also know it is fall because we are in full swing with elementary school, preschool, Girl Scouts and soon to be AWANA.  The House of Clouse is a busy place.  We always have something to do or somewhere to go!

One thing we seem to be lacking in our area these days are sunny days, so when they do appear we take advantage of them.  We love to get the "sillies" out and go for a short little walk to a creek by our house.

Can you hear our middle child? "You can't catch me Dad!!!!"

Baby K enjoys the walks as well.  We've decided this is one device that she will go into willingly without screaming her head off (most of the time, cross your fingers).

This creek actually has spawning salmon in it this time of year.  The girls and I walked down here a few weeks ago and the first K found a dead one jammed up in the side (yes she picked it out of the creek and brought it over to me for further inspection, and yes it was disgusting).

The little girls and I made it past the creek and to the bike path the other day. It was wonderful.  I'm hoping for some sunny weather these last few days of September, rain, rain go away!
