The Family Pictures That Didn't Happen

I can't believe I'm posting this picture as everyones eyes are closed, but it's the only picture I got and it's actually a kind of funny story. We went to a fundraiser for a local pre-school at Buena Vista Ski Area. There is a dinner and horse rides. The best part is that you get to walk up the hill and check out all the fall colors. We brought our own picnic since it was a gloriously bright and warm day (and I didn't know that they were serving dinner). There were lots and lots of people coming up the hill to check out the view. We ran into a family that we know and she volunteered to take some pictures of us. And she "took" a lot. She had us move around, and she "took" pictures from all sorts of angles. Well, tonight I was downloading pictures for this post, and wouldn't you know that there weren't any pictures on the camera except this one. This has happened to us before (on vacation in Burlington, VT), I'm going to blame Nikon. I guess it's not a fool-proof camera. Anyways, I'll try to get some more pictures of fall since it's almost over. Our trees are dropping leaves like crazy. We're past the orange, red, yellow, and green phase of fall and have moved into the "shades of brown" time of fall. The leaves do sound spectacular under our feet. And the mushrooms! Oh, you should see the mushrooms. They are so awesome right now and they look so darn tasty. I'm working on identifying them, but so far all of the possibilities are telling me not to ingest!
