Turkey Run State Park October 13, 2012

Our family after a long and challenging hike....we did it!

Oh my goodness, how I love this child but she is a piece of work these days....you'll notice she's wearing a shirt with penguins and snow on it....not exactly fall attire.....but this is one battle that was not worth fighting today!

Cora and her Mama enjoying a beautiful fall day

Look at those leaves!  This picture doesn't do it justice.

Mae and Ella 

We had a great time on Saturday hiking at Turkey Run State Park.  It was much more rugged hiking than our brood is used to and Lenn and I had to constantly be aware of where these little people were walking.  Lots of stairs, rocks to climb over and under, a big and bouncy suspension bridge, beautiful changing leaves......it all added up to a really fun time.
