A beautiful day for a hike

Oh my goodness, this weather has been amazing!  I cannot believe it is November.  I'm sure we will be paying for it later, but we are definitely enjoying it now.  My husband took off work Monday and Tuesday, so Tuesday we decided to go to a park about 35 minutes away from our house.

Fall is the perfect time for a hike.  The trees are gorgeous, the parks are mostly free during the week, and, even better, mostly empty!  We took a hike around the lake, tried to use our new skills to identify leaves and trees, and played by the water.

Kaybug had fun with the binoculars 

After our hike, we had a picnic lunch, then played at the playground before taking another walk around the empty campground.  

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and are so glad Daddy was able to join us.
