The one where we throw leaves in the air.

00:00

Its half term and we plan on spending as much time outdoors as possible! Winter is well on it's way and we're really wanting to make the most of Autumn as it's out absolute favourite time of year. The leaves are changing colour and the weather is becoming cooler.

We decided to go for an Autumnal walk and walk along the river bank to feed the (very) greedy swans! It's one of our favourite things to do. Another one of our favourite things to do is throw leaves up in the air. My children absolutely love this and it's of course free. Honestly, you do not need lots of money and expensive days out.. my children are happy with just a pile of leaves and lots of space to run around, hehe.

 After we'd finished playing in the leaves and chatting about how beautiful everything is this time of year, we headed down to the river to feed the swans! We were surprised there were no Canadian geese there! There are usually tonnes of geese but none this time.
We may have also been chased by the greedy swans wanting more bread!

 We finished our walk off with an Ice cream! Which the kids thoroughly enjoyed, goes without saying really, haha.

We are hoping to go for more lovely walks. Maybe we'll put on the wellie boots and go for a stroll in the woods sometime this week! I bet it looks amazing down by the pond this time of year!

How have you been enjoying Autumn and half term so far? I'd love to hear what you have been up to!

  17. It must be so much warmer down there to be eating ice cream and out in t-shirts, either that or your kids really don't feel the cold?! We've had at least 3 layers on when we're out, including a fleece lined jacket each. I love your photos, great ones of your kids just enjoying nature!

  19. What beautiful pictures! You all look so happy! I love Autumn and throwing leaves and you're right, it really is such a stunning season. Although you're a lot braver than me with the swans. They terrify me, if they were chasing me I'd be so scared! It looks like you had a perfect family day out. Thank you so much for linking up to #whatevertheweather xx

  23. I think every child should get to experience days like this, running free and throwing leaves, it is one of my fondest memories of autumn as a child. Thank you for sharing some gorgeous photos on Country Kids.

  24. Autumn is a very pretty time of year - if it could just have a little less rain I would be happy. Beautiful photos x

  25. Looks beautiful! Swan's scare the bejessus out of me. I think I was chased a few times when I was little. Your kids were brave to get so close. Such pretty photos. Makes me homesick, no Autumn colours in Thailand.

    Thanks so much for linking up with #fartglitter x

  29. Its so true - who needs money when you've got free leaves and sunshine?! Love the fact that your older kids are thoroughly enjoying it too, like my eldest does but is beginning to feel awkward about mucking about in public like that (sad face). Love the river - where is it? #savouringtheseason
