  92. i like tiny Oranges on Facebook and I love the fall colors even though in california you really have to look for them in Nature. Love the park

  96. Halloween time has always been a family favorite holiday since I was 17 years old. That is the first Halloween that I actually had a family. My foster mom would spend hours designing both hers and my costumes followed by festivities of decorating the house. It was a scence similar to those who decorate their homes for Xmas but ours was adorned with spiderwebs, witches, skeletons and zombies. I was so happy the day my mom showed up at my doorstep with a big box of favored halloween treasures to pass on the decorating traditions to my own son. Halloween is the beginning of scary stories, decorating fun, and Halloween themed dinners bringing me and my son a shared joy.

  97. My favorite thing about fall is the food. I love the spices and warm flavors that indicate that fall has arrived. And who doesn’t love Halloween with the family. Just two reasons why I think fall is awesome!

  101. I love the crisp air, the smell of pumpkin spice candles, extravagant homemade halloween costumes, and boo-ing loved ones with tricks and treats!

  106. I Love this park. I use to go when I was younger and would LOVE to share this beautiful park with my lil ones!!

  110. love the weather in the FALL!!! and Halloween time is especially fun, to see all the cute little faces peeking out of their costumes. And most importantly…. THE Candy!!! 😉
