A-Corny Family

I've always loved acorns! I love the way the little hats fit on the heads and look like little people falling from the tree. It reminds me of collecting chestnuts with my Mom this time of year. I don't remember what we did with those things but I do remember going to Utah State and wandering around Old Main looking for chestnuts. The ones with some of their shell still attached were always my favorites.
The other day Jack and I were out on a walk with Max Pinto..the dog. Near our house we came upon a bunch of acorns that had fallen from a tree. I couldn't help but start collecting them and trying to find the "hat" that should fit on the nut. Jack got into it quickly and before we knew it we had hands full and pockets full to take home. When we got home we used a small stick I had also picked up on our walk and started creating our family to sit on that stick. Cairo and Charlie got involved and we soon had extended family included. Sitting on a twig of a family tree. Spontaneous crafts and fun always seem to work out to be the best at building memories and creating the cutest outcome.
