Oh, how we love all the seasons in Colorado, but after a very hot summer, we are all too ready for our temps to cool and our leaves to change to golden hues! This summer was the hottest by far since we've moved here. Because it's been so dry, the leaves are predicted to turn several weeks earlier than usual. Thankfully, our weekends are pretty free in September, so we're looking forward to enjoying time outdoors in the beauty of Fallorado!
Today, the older boys and I headed out to one of our favorite spots to break out the bikes on the open trails. This was Reid's first trail ride, and he rocked it! The first part of the trail is an uphill climb with some sandy portions of the trail, but he kept on truckin'. By the end of the ride, he was loving every moment and riding the trail like a pro. (Keep in mind that Reid's little bike only has 1 gear, so he doesn't have the luxury of switching gears when it gets hilly ... so that's quite a feat to trail ride with HIS bike!) Luke, an experienced rider, was our leader and did a wonderful job being the front rider and setting the pace. Times like these are my absolute favorite moments of motherhood ... spending time in the great outdoors with our boys!

The boys said this bench looked
like it was made of Lincoln Logs.
Perfect day for a trail ride!
Fun morning biking with these fellas!
Notice the leaves behind us are just starting to change.
