Leaf Picking

After we went to the Circleville Pumpkin Show on Saturday, we drove another 1/2 hour south to check out Hocking Hills State Park. We've heard so many great things about this place, but we were still a little skeptical of these so called "hills" with Ohio being so flat. But we were pleased to find that yes, indeed, Ohio has a great place to go when we feel like enjoying the great outdoors. We went on a small hike to a waterfall (more like a drip at this time of year) and Annie had fun throwing rocks in the pool at the bottom. On our way out of the park we stopped at a lake because the trees were so gorgeous in color! We told Annie we were going to go "leaf picking." She has always loved leaves (she picks them up and carries them into the van everywhere we go), and she loved it when we went apple picking . . . . so, needless to say, this is now her new favorite activity! Which is fine with me . . . . it's easy AND cheap.

Leah loved the leaves as well . . . . although she was much more interested in eating them! She thought it was fun when we covered her legs with leaves and she would kick and kick to make them all rustle.
