Fall Ball

Bobby and his friends wait all day for school to end and for their chance to play outdoors in the fall weather.  Flying leaves, swirling colors, and crisp air make the perfect setting for a game of football with Sparky the dog.   A beautiful, nostalgic celebration of a magical time of year.
