Chain O Lakes 2014

Each year we take a trip to Chain O Lakes State park and enjoy the fall colors.  This year in addition to hiking, we also rented a canoe for an hour.  It was a beautiful fall day!  The next evening we made a fire in the fire pit in the back yard, roasted marshmallows, and ate s'mores.  We love this time of year and spending time together as a family.

Liam really wanted to take one of the turtles home as a pet.  There were so many sun bathing.

We didn't see the woodpecker, but we saw its work

Daisy was not thrilled with the canoe ride and felt much safer right next to Dave.

Liam moved the caterpillar off the path into the grass, so it would be safer.

Last year on our hike, Lilly was just starting to walk and I had to carry her in the Ergo baby carrier most of the hike.  This year she walked most of it!

Dave almost stepped on the frog.  Liam really enjoyed examining it up close.
