We all walk slowly on trails,looking for the infamous "Woolly"caterpillar,and see who counts the most. Counting  how many have more black showing,then make predictions of the winter to come :) It's fun to do,and we meet other families that notice them and we exchange  predictions.Then back to picnic area and enjoy our pincic and talk about everything we each seen and who will become the new Woolly champion !

If you're ever in Arizona in the fall, make sure you hit these spots.

That sea of red is so vibrant that your taste buds come alive just anticipating the tart recipes. I have been taking my children to the Cranberry Festival at Milestone Bog every October. That has become our own family tradition that starts off the autumn season.
