Outdoor Adventures

We've gotten out a few times in the last couple weeks to enjoy the beautiful fall weather! Our first adventure was a trip to Hanging Rock State Park with a hike to see a couple of waterfalls.

The leaves were just starting to change.


In addition to riding on Dad and Mom's shoulders, Camden liked walking/running along the trail too.


His favorite part about the hike was collecting rocks and acorns. His pockets were bulging by the time we left!







Our second adventure was "hiking" along the banks of the Haw River, near Jordan Lake. We were going to go to some hiking trails at Jordan Lake, but with the $5 entrance fee and no cash, we decided to see what else we could do. We found a canoe access to the river, so we parked the truck and headed off on this little trail that went along the river. Camden was really excited to "go hi-hing."

We found some large trees!

Looking at this picture now, it looks like we are very bad parents-just notice Calvin's foot on the right side of the picture :)

The scenery was beautiful! I love rivers.


Family photo-thank you automatic timer.




I love this time of year! The leaves are changing and the weather is so pleasant. I'm grateful for the opportunities we have to get outside and enjoy time together as a family.

It is a Beautiful World...glad you could get out to enjoy! I can SEE in the pic how Camden has his pockets stuffed !!!! Boys will be typical Boys. I remember when Jacob Van Dam was like that in Lund on the "L" hill...pockets so full his pants were falling down.
