Spiky Balls

we have been out lots enjoying the beautiful weather (except for the rainy days last week.) when we went to Clark park last week to get our new nature tote bag (birds), the park ranger was leading a nature walk on fall leaves. It was little old for the boys but I learned some and we got great coloring books which helped us learn to recognize some trees. We went around the yard and ID'd the trees. I had the great ID to sign the first letter of each tree's name but it's kind of hard to tell now so you'll have to ID them yourself- we saw white oak, red oak, pine, maple (with helicopters), holly, and sweet gum:
