chilhowee

This past weekend we headed up to Chilhowee to do some Sabbath afternoon hiking. I was excited to get up there and see all the leaves changing colors - one of my favorite things about fall. I had originally wanted us to go camping up there, but the boys (yes, the sissy practical boys) felt that it might be a little too cold at night and maybe we should just make it a day trip instead...so I obliged their requests.

We hiked to Benton Falls and it was gorgeous!  I think I ended up taking a hundred photos...I tend to go overboard sometimes.  But I was a little disappointed because I didn't realize until we got home that most of the photos we were in, we looked totally washed out...oh well.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful fall day.  I am hoping we can get at least another day or two of hiking in this season, if the boys don't think it's too cold ;) (i kid, i kid!)

  What are some of your favorite things about fall?  

a little family hike

A couple weekends ago, hubby and I took Jack for a hike at a new nature center, Enterprise South, that is near our house.  It has miles and miles of trails, both paved and wooded.  This was our first time to check it out and we were so glad that we did!  

We did about 4 miles and Jack did so well.  There were other dogs along the way, but Jack was mostly good about listening and not putting up too much of a struggle to stay on track.  We were really excited when we found out that they allow dogs on the trails.  I think it's too bad when places say pets are not allowed. 

I am so happy that it has been getting warm enough to go do things outside again.  I love being outdoors.  I am totally ready for Spring.  How about you guys?

  Unfortunately for us, this weekend will be a different story.  It is supposed to be rainy all day Saturday and possible showers on Sunday too.  I suppose it will be a good weekend to get some cleaning and housework done.

Happy Weekend Friends!!!
