Falling Leaves

Last Wednesday, Sam, Alden, & I went down to Rylander Park and played in the leaves. It was the last warm and dry day we were supposed to have for a while, so we took advantage of it! As soon as naps were over, we drove down to the park. We walked straight to the ball field area because I knew that's where the most leaves would be and I was right! Samantha started picking up leaves right away and I tried to stand Alden up next to her for a picture, but he sat right down and started crawling in the leaves! We covered Alden's legs up in leaves and would kick his feet and giggle. Then, I had Sam sit down and I covered her up too, but she didn't like it and got up right away. We walked around a little more and we were going to go up in the woods to the trail, but it was getting dark and there were lots of werid sounds that Sam didn't like too much. Instead, we walked back to the playground and Sam and Alden rode on the swings for awhile and Sam went down the slide a couple of times. It started to get pretty dark at about 5:15pm, so I convinced Sam it was time to go. She started pushing the stroller back ot the van, and it started sprinkling a little bit and then all of the sudden it stared pouring! And it was a very cold/hard rain, so we started running and Sam ran as fast as her little legs would carry her! When we finally got back to the van, she was freaking out because she got really wet.
