First day of fall

We slept in this morning and woke to the glorious cool air rushing through our open windows and the smell of homemade pumpkin bread filling the house. That's the perfect way to wake up on the first day of fall! Mid-morning, we decided to invite Mimi to join us for brunch at the Iron Cactus in Bee Cave. What an amazing brunch buffet! And, just a table away, there sat a lady doing face painting! And, a charity 5K was just finishing up right outside the patio where we were sitting, and they had four balloons they needed to dispose of as part of their clean-up, and we had four kids, so it worked out just great. When we finished eating, Ruth and I visited a couple of shops in the Hill Country Galleria, while the boys frolicked in the amphitheater area. Finally, we rejoined and took the show down the road a piece. Our next stop was the Hamilton Pool Preserve, where we hiked and took in the breathtaking scenery and refreshing weather. When the smallest among us began to get tired, we headed back to the house to get in some Sunday football and naps. It was truly a lovely day (which we desperately needed after some of the preceding days)! How did you celebrate the first day of fall?
