Leaf Hunt and the park

Today was the first time Zander enjoyed the park. My husband and I babysat my friend Tracy's daughter, Rebekah. We took her to the park. While we walked there, we went on a leaf hunt. Rebekah and I each had a big ziplock bag and we collected leaves along the way that we liked. It was so much fun. And we sang the "Going on a leaf hunt" song, to the tune of "Going on a bear hunt." We found some really neat leaves, and we all had fun at the park.

Zander is trying out the slide. His daddy let him try it by himself the first time.

Then Daddy helped the other times.

Then Daddy and Zander raced Rebekah down the slide. Rebekah won!
Mommy had a turn going down the slide with Zander too.

Zander loved the swing.
He held on to the rail and stood up. He would not sit down.
What a big boy standing up.
The park wore Zander out. He fell asleep on the walk home from the park.
But we still went to Grandma's house after the park. Brian got McDonalds for us. And Grandma had 2 present for Zander. They were a silver baby ring and a baby spoon. They were so cute. I will add the picture later.
Then Rebekah went home and Daddy went to work. I took Zander home. After his afternoon nap, we had a little fun with the leaves I collected. Zander wasn't to cooperative with the photo shoot. This was the best shot I got.
I found all different kinds of leaves. Some were as big or bigger than Zander's head.
And some looked oh so adorable on Zander's head.
And on his butt.

God is so awesome. These are only a few kinds of trees he makes. And look at all those gorgeous colors. I love fall.
