Today we went to a memorial to veterans in downtown Naperville. At the park by the carillon tower, they had over 2000 flags set up, honoring those who had fought for the freedoms of our country. This was in conjunction with Veterans Day last week. It was cool to see all the flags set up

Well, fall is here and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to get any warmer! It’s been cold and/or rainy for the past 2 weeks. The leaves are starting to turn colors and it’s very beautiful. The only problem with the leaves starting to turn is that we know winter will be here soon! 🙁
