Because Babies Grow Up

I thoroughly enjoyed the Fall aspect of this week. The weather was slightly cooler. The rain finally let up. And we went to the Knoxville Zoo. One of our most favorite places. I haven’t been able to talk Sammi into this really cool city park because she always chooses the zoo. I love the zoo in the fall and winter because the animals are more active in the cooler weather.

This weeks posts seemed to really hit the heart and emotion of the fall season.

Melitsa from Play-Activities wrote about natural play that focused on a stick she and her boys found in their yard. This stick became the center of their outside, imaginative play for the week. They were very creative in finding different uses for this stick, from snake to microphone. Read the explanation of her picture in her Tell Me Thursday post.

McAlpine from the Soul of Japan shared a beautiful picture from a natural spring in Japan. I would love to take a hike to this location and just soak in the fall foliage.

Suzanne from Crunchy Green Mom shared the special memories she associates with fall. Her post is beautiful written and captures her emotions so vividly.

Renee left her thoughts on fall in a comment: “I don’t have a blog so I’m just going to tell you right here what we did to celebrate Fall tonight! My little girl dressed up in her Halloween costume from last year (yes, it’s a little snug but she didn’t care!) and hunted “pumpkins” (orange plastic eggs from Easter) that had candy, fruit snacks, etc. in them that I hid around the inside of our house. I would have hid them outside but I live in the south where the rains have been HORRIBLE for the past week and the yard is MUSH. I can’t tell you how much fun she had Indoor Trick or Treating! She can’t wait to Trick or Treat for real soon.”
