The sky was a perfect, cloudless, deep blue today. The air had a touch of briskness to it, (compared to the bonechilling temperatures it was last week).
It was time to head up to Mount Hope to take pictures of the kids (I mean pictures of God's glorious autumn colors)
I only managed to get 8 kids excited for the outing. The other two-big boys-had other things to do-like sleep.
This steep hill was just too tempting to resist.
These kids made it up.....
These kids didn't....
Mark made it the highest....must be the hat. 
Our daredevil?

This is definitely the peak weekend for autumn colors.

Only God can paint these colors.
