fall hike

We had a glorious afternoon for hiking on Sunday. Our church met at Huron Nature Trail and explored the many paths and ponds there. I was very busy taking pictures and loved the beautiful setting to get lots of scenery and people shots. Most I can't show here since I don't like posting photos of friends without getting their permission. But here are a few of our family and the gorgeous fall colours.

This one is my favorites from the day.

The colours are almost at their peak.

One group shot. I figure most people are so far away this picture should be ok.

I didn't see Abigail or Nathaniel for most of the hike. This is one of the few times that I did walk with Abigail. My kids love the older boys at our church and were hiking with them most of the time. I love our church for how wonderful the older kids are with the younger ones.

Jesse was so excited to have found a caterpillar. Andrew was thankful that it did not end up on his head as he let Jesse ride on his shoulders.

I ended up at the end of the hike after stopping for my scenery shots. I didn't get many pictures of people actually hiking, but I did get one of two of my guys.

Despite not napping before the hike, Jesse remained happy throughout the afternoon.

Some dogs also joined our walk. My boys were completely taken with this puppy, Holly. Jesse really wasn't happy unless he was holding onto Holly's leash. He will make a very good owner some day. He was very stern in his directions "Doggie, SIT!"

Yes, fall is a wonderful season.
