Fall leaves

It was so beautiful outside today, we went into the mountains to see the fall leaves after church.  The brilliant colors were almost magical.  I loved Emmy's four-year-old vocabulary describing the beauty around her.  "Those leaves are so bright they are pink and red and orange and yellow and green at the same time."  We collected all different colored leaves from the ground.  Gabby found one that was so soft and felt-like on it's backside she had to taste it.  I guess I can't blame her after we had talked about using her senses to see and smell the leaves.  It only seems natural she would want to taste one next :)
