Lake Ellyn

On Sunday, we took advantage of some nice weather and visits from both sets of grandparents with a walk around Lake Ellyn. The colors around the lake were just gorgeous; vibrant orange, yellows and reds like I have never seen before.
Ethan had a blast seeing the ducks on the lake, hearing the leaves crunch under his feet and walking around with nanny and grandma. We also tried to snap a few family photos while we were there.
Ethan also discovered the fun in running down a hill. As you can see from the expression on his face in the picture above, it was something he loved doing and was repeated several times. He was a little tuckered out after that and had to take a little rest on papa's shoulders!
We had such a fun afternoon just enjoying the fresh air and time with our families. Nothing beats gorgeous scenery, beautiful weather and great company. More pictures from our walk here.

Gorgoeous photos Ali. Wish we had a fall here - I remember really loving that time when I lived in PA. Glad you are having a good season. ~ Vic

Thanks for the updates and the pictures. The trees at the lake were beautiful. Ethan is growing so much and looking like a little man. Enjoy every minute of him as they grow up way too fast. Thanks for sharing him with us through the blog.

Love, Aunt Cindy
