The poet William Cullen Bryant once called autumn "the year's last, loveliest smile." We couldn't agree more: The air has a mild bite to it, a crispiness that sharpens the senses. Summer's colors mellow to gold, amber, orange and red. And our kids reboot, blooming into a new year of school as nature prepares to close up shop in winter. Send your best snapshots of your little ones out enjoying the new season to us at parentingmag@gmail.com. From apple picking to pumpkin carving to hayrides, we'll post our favorites here.
