Fall Prevention

Today is the first day of fall, aka autumn, aka the autumnal equinox (thanks dad for drilling that into my head as a kid).  Equal parts day and night mean we are only getting less time to take photos outside which is such a bummer!  Even with that bummer part about short days I absolutely love fall - the colors, the temps, and I just stocked up on some pumpkin spice chai and hot chocolate.

Today is also Fall Prevention day, which I can thank my Elk River YMCA monthly calendar for bringing to my attention.  I can't help but spin off the coincidence that Fall Prevention day just happens to fall (no pun intended) on the autumnal equinox, and do my part for some "fall prevention".  Of course no one wants to see me trying to prevent fall so I made my kids do it, ha!  It was the perfect day to take a walk and do our part to prevent fall from arriving with a little glue, some green markers and paint.  I think my kids have their work cut out for them :)

Lily didn't participate although she did require a bath!

This may take a little more time...
