{Peak}-a-Boo!

While Dan is enjoying the warm temps of Arizona this weekend attending conferences for work {maybe not enjoying that part so much!}...the kids and I enjoyed the {peak} of the Fall colors here at home. It has been such a wet, cold season so far, but we finally had the perfect Fall day to hike at the nearby state park and take in the fun Fall atmosphere!



The first stop is to ride the ponies! I could not even get Alex near a horse early last year, but ever since his first pony ride, he cannot wait to do it again! I, on the other hand, am not too fond of horse-back riding...they can sense the fear, y'know! {Alex's horse thinks that is just hilarious, because he knows!}





A {peak} at the leaves...





{...and in a true {Not Me!} mention...I am not so proud of Alex & Emily for trying out their photography skills so that Mommy can come out from behind the camera sometimes!}


...a healthy hike around the lake...







{This picture does not make me just a little sad...look at how tall Alex is getting! He is going to be up to my shoulders next year!...sigh...}


Last stop...the Lookout Tower...





Emily loved sitting on the "front porch" {as she called it}...and I can't blame her...such a lovely view!

Thanks for taking a {peak} at the Fall foilage with us! I love this time of year...up until every last leaf...


...falls.
