Fall Weather

We have a very wooded backyard, and our first trees are beginning to change colors. We have had some cool fall weather, too. Fall is in the air and we are enjoying it. My son has been spending less time indoors and more time outside in the nice weather. He rides his bike often now--it's much more comfortable in the fall than in the sweltering summer. We will miss experiencing a change in seasons when we move to Florida. Still, the idea of going to the beach, swimming in a pool, or going to a waterpark almost year round--my teens think that will be cool. We actually went to the beach in February and it was quite pleasant! :) We THOUGHT that last fall was the final one for our family before moving and experiencing year round warmth in Florida. Seems that we will get to experience one more autumn before moving. We MAY even be here for a few weeks of winter, too--something we know we won't miss once we move. We've experienced enough snow and ice for a while--it will be interesting to essentially "skip" winter when we live in Florida. The theme parks are open year round, so "season passes" are really "annual passes"--no off season like the theme parks we're used to around here. Yes, we have enjoyed our fall experiences, but my teens say that they are ready to live in year round "vacation mode." Sure, they have to go to school--but being able to go to the beach or a theme park EVERY weekend of the entire year--they think that is "heaven on earth"!! So I will enjoy watching them as they soak in their last autumn for a while--then we will be moving on to the perfect place for teens with its year round near-perfect weather--Sunshine State, here we come! :)
