Happy Fall

After weeks and weeks of overcast and rainy weather, we finally had a perfect fall day here in Norman. We celebrated by taking a drive and checking out the gorgeous mums on the south oval of OU's campus.

Grayson is very inquisitive when it comes to the outdoors. He loves picking up fallen leaves, but not the bright yellow or red ones. He prefers the crunchy dead brown ones. Lucky for us, leaves of all shapes and colors are in abundance around our house.

I tried taking Grayson's picture next to one of our Japanese maples that's currently a fiery red, but instead of posing, he was way more interested in picking off the leaves and then showing them to me.

Once we arrived at the south oval, Grayson enjoyed running through the rows of mums and "balancing" on the garden border.

He also discovered that picking grass is just as much fun as picking up dead leaves. Of course, he had to show us each blade as well since they are all so interesting.
