There is Beauty All Around

If my husband could do one thing every Saturday, it would be this

Skipping down the trail

A hike just makes him happy, so does a long bike ride, an iphone and cookie dough, but mostly being able to hike.

Family at Raven Rock

Greti was not happy that Micah got to be cargo on the packed mule (see side bar column for commentary), but with food to dangle in front of her nose she managed. This one didn't rub it in much at ALL either.

Pack mule and cargo

I found these two leaves lying side by side, hand in hand, together, sort of like the our marriage (just wanted to see if I could make you gag).

twin leaves

So ends the hike at Raven Rock. We had lots of time to doddle, dirtify ourselves, think to ourselves and appreciate Fall's returning beauty.

Beautiful! We LOVE hiking too! I haven't heard of Raven's Rock yet. I still have a lot to learn about these parts. By the way, your sidebar of quotes is HILARIOUS! We were laughing so hard!!

Looks so beautiful. Dave has taken our kids on a bunch of hikes this summer. They love it.

I did almost gag.
The scenery is beautiful in your family picture! The colors are just starting to change here, I'm so happy!

Oh Fall is SO beautiful in the East. Your pictures make me miss it! And yes, your leaf comment made me gag. Except that it's your blog and I knew a follow up was coming that would turn the gag into a smile. :)
