Today was a fun Fall day. Carl was out of town in New Orleans, so the kids and I joined Mr. and Mrs. Meyers and went to Horicon Marsh for the day. It was a beautiful day, but it was so windy it felt colder than it really was. Here we are as we set out on our hike.
Kaitlyn and Scott at the first pit stop.
Me and the kids.
Here we are with Mrs. Meyers. Kaitlyn is cold and Scott is fine in his shorts. They could not be more opposite!
Scott and I with Carl's parents.
The always solitary Kaitlyn, I have many pictures where she "looks" deep in thought pondering life's challenges.
The kids took a few scenery shots. The Marsh is very flat, so not much in the way of topography. In Southern Wisconsin we are about 2 weeks past peak color. There are a few brilliant colors left in a few trees, but mostly things are looking dead. Winter is right around the corner!
When we drove in the park we saw a sign that read "Please do not run over snakes basking on the pavement"! We all laughed. Well sure enough on the way out I nearly picked off this poor snake. The kids just had to rescue it and relocate it to safer ground. They were so excited! They said after that the snake was the best part of the day. Simple pleasures...

Too funny. Who thought snakes needed their own sign, and you were able to witness the truth first hand. Glad to see you had a great day.
We missed you today!
Glad you had a nice time...I was thinking Scott must have been cold in shorts and a tee shirt, but boy radiate their own energy, I guess!!
Looks like fun.
It looks like you guys have been having fun this fall. I do miss the fall there in Wisconsin but not the winter.
