firetrucks & slides & leaves, oh my!

It was another beautiful fall weekend. The mornings were chilly & foggy, but once the sun was fully awake the days were glorious. We took advantage of the nice weather and spent much of our time outdoors. On Saturday we went to Hyde Park Square for lunch and enjoyed some time checking out the fire truck and playing in the square. Kenzie was a little frightened by the enormity of the fire truck. Lexi was very curious about all of the gadgets. They both had a blast chasing each other around the square.







While the girls napped on Saturday, Randall took a trip to Toys R Us to pick up a playset for our back yard. He set it up during their nap and it was so fun to watch their reactions when they first spotted it. They ran towards it, giggling and shrieking with excitement! Every time that they saw it for the rest of the weekend they would shout "Slide! Slide!" as if to say, "Can you believe it? We have our own slides in our own back yard!"







On Sunday we had some fun in the leaves. Daddy raked a huge pile of leaves and the girls had fun jumping in it. Kenzie wasn't a big fan of the leaves getting into her shirt and was a bit unsure about the whole thing. Lexi on the other hand loved it, and was quite disappointed when Randall actually bagged the leaves... although she was a good helper in the process. Don't worry girls, there will be plenty more leaves to come this fall!









For the rest of the weekend, the girls took every opportunity to play on their slides ...
