Feels like Autumn

We have spent the last few weekends with Pa and Grammie camping on our property at Lake Fork. The days have spent watching the boys have a BLAST, clearing the land to figure out where to build the cabin, and enjoying the fall weather. Even though it's been warm, it feels like Autumn out there! So nice. This view of our gravel road from the RV is spectacular.
Last weekend, Owen spied a Cowboys and Indian play set at Brookshires. Boy, did that set get a lot of use this weekend.
Even Daddy Q got in on the cowboys/indian action.
The neighbors came by and gave us some pointers on how to use the tractor to clear the thick brush by water's edge and Pa has mastered the technique. Liam feels like he has, too.
Tried to get a picture of the three boys at sunset--didn't work out well for me ;-)
You can hear coyotes howling at night. Pa sent the boys out on their gator with their guns on a coyote hunt. Oh my goodness.
Gavin reminds me of Elmer Fudd in this picture -- "where is dat pesky wittle wabbit?"
A gorgeous tree changing colors for the fall...
Littlest fella is not longer happy just getting carted around...he wants to be. in. the. dirt.
One of the coolest trees on this property is a massive cedar (I think). Pa cut out some of the branches in the bottom of it to create a fort for the boys. The LOVE it in there....

Owen cut out a bigger space to make room for his friends for when they come to visit. Aww.
This is the hint of the view we will have from our cabin. That little sliver of sunlight in the distance is where the water is. Hooray!! I was sitting by the Tree Fort admiring the "future view" as Gerard called it. Later, Owen came to sit next to me and said, "Mom, I LOVE your future view."
And, we love it at the property. Especially in autumn!
