A fall walk on Tivoli Island

As you know we had a wonderful Saturday with Tizita at Sesame Street Live and later at Ella's Deli. She slept soundly in our bed between us on Saturday night and on Sunday Courtney, Paul, Tiz, John and I took a walk to Tivoli Island. It was a nice crisp fall day and the Island was not disappointing.When the girls were little we spent so much time on the Island. In fact, we have numerous pictures of the girls sitting right here n this very bench! Fall is particularilly pretty on the Island with winter close behind. Summer is the one season we stayed away from the Island because of the mosquitoes.Looks like this happy famly enjoys this Island, too!A happy Grandma and Grandpa, too with Tizita.John's knees were hurting that day so we found him this nice walking stick, not really sure if it helped him too much though.Just kicking around in the fallen leaves.Courtney was very nervous about climbing up on this fallen tree. We were both just coming off of falls in the previous week so I think she was being overly cautious! She did make it up and down just fine.Paul and Tiz walked way out on the wall to the view the dam better. It made me very nervous to watch them walk out there. Brought back the memories of when my girls made the walk.And then our time on the Island was over and we headed back to our house. A nice step back in time for us. John and I can't wait to show Tizita the Island when it is covered in snow.

It was a nice walk. The stick was discarded 1/2 way through the walk as it was NOT helping.
