Beautiful Fall Colors in Mueller Park

 

Sam took the children on a hike in Mueller Park.

Douglas . . . always playing the piano. 😀

These two photos were taken on a different day when Sam took the children to the zoo. Before visiting the zoo, they drove up into the mountains to see some fall colors. Diana wasn't happy about turning Octonauts off to enjoy nature.

However, Diana was quite pleased to be at the zoo.

Coach Sam with her team. Penny's soccer season ends today.

Sam took the children to visit Granny's house. Among their various activities, they made vampire teeth and witches' brooms. And then they ate them.
