I have to say that fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Since my life doesn't revolve around laying out and getting a tan as much as it did in the summers of my youth, I think that fall might be tied to my favorite season.
Brian and I try to get the kids out as much as possible to enjoy hiking in our beautiful mountains here in Utah. We love to see the leaves, hike in the cooler weather and most of all, spent time with each other and our kids. I don't know what it is about nature, but it has a positive influence on us as a family. When we are out walking trails or watching the kids look in ponds for fish, we tend to slow down and appreciate one another. Every moment in priceless and there is no rush to go and get other things done. It's amazing how therapeutic a walk in the autumn leaves can do for you.
I love fall. I love our family hikes, I love my kids, and I love that I have a hubby who has shown me how to love and appreciate nature and the little things in life.
