Autumn To-Do List

Every year as autumn descends on Happy Valley I make a mental wish list of all the wonderful things we should do to celebrate the season.  Now that Sawyer is big enough to enjoy practically any activity from hiking up the foothills to watching Halloween movies, that wish list is getting rather lengthy.  I've managed to whittle it down to our absolute musts that should keep us busy until the snow starts falling.
