Fall Beauty at Little Buffalo

We figured nice days were getting limited so we took off to Little Buffalo for a hike. The weather was beautiful and I was pleasantly surprised when I began looking at the pictures on the computer. I had forgotten what all Little Buffalo had to offer and I believe this was our first time ever there in the fall. I was wishing I would have time to line up a photographer for family photos... Maybe next year. We've not had any done since Nathaniel was 2 yrs. old.

Timeout for a little play...

Haley giving the slide a try on her own...
Nice catch Nathaniel!


Nathaniel giving Haley hugs...


Haley enjoying the swing with Nathaniel...



There were no infant swings so Nathaniel said, "I'll give her a ride!" As you can see Haley was quite satisfied with that. It's so nice to see moments like these! They do have a unique and special bond. Nathaniel is so good with Haley and he will be an excellent dad someday!









Nearing the end of the hike...


Hanging out along the covered bridge...
I wish I would have had Jim hold Haley up in the air for this shot.
I love how it turned out! If only...

Dulcie... I HAVE MISSED YOU! It was so fun to look at these pictures. As always the speak to your awesome talent of photography. I loved the pictures of Nat and Haley on the swing and slide. What a great big brother!

AND I MUST COMMENT THAT I LOVE JIM'S BEARD! KEN ALWAYS GROWS ONE IN THE WINTER (he told me after Thanksgiving this year!) I LOVE BEARDS. Ken complains that he gets overheated which is why he will only grow a beard in the winter. :)

So happy to be able to check in on your family. Thanks for sharing your trip to Little Buffalo.

Hi Dulcie,
Thank you for following baby Tanner. I often stop in the Steven's Family Blog looking for some great new pictures. You take such beautiful photos. Nathaniel is such a handsome boy!! Haley looks like she's doing well. She's such a doll baby. Well, it's great to hear from you and I would love for all of us to get together after the holidays sometime. I really enjoyed the picnic. Take care and I hope all is well:)
