Great job, Cedar!  We loved watching you perform!

mt. pisgah

 On Saturday, October 19th, we hiked Mt. Pisgah with a picnic lunch.

 This was Kenton & the kids' first time.  

 Looking older than I think he should.  ;)

 Pretty trail.

 Cedar boy!

 Such beautiful views!

What good hikers!

 So colorful.

 A view of the river.

 I was there!

 I think this has been the sunniest, driest, most colorful fall that I can remember!

Finley kept up with me while Kenton stayed behind with Cedar.

 Finley really wanted to make it to the top & is probably the only reason we didn't turn around.  We had a time limit & it didn't look like we'd make it up there at the pace we were moving.  But we decided to pick up the pace & Kenton carried Cedar on his back.

 I love the color & texture of his hair.

 Layers of mountains.

 Cedar & Kenton caught up to us at the halfway point & we worked super hard to make it to the top!

 We made it to the top!  We barely had enough time to scarf our sandwiches while I nursed Elsa.  Then we made our way back down in half the time!  What a great hike!

And a great view!  Lovely!

photo shoots

 Cedar & Elsa

 Charis & Elsa

 We drove around town to find places to photograph the fall color!

 The leaves were so vibrant in the bright sun!

 Not the best lighting for portraits, but the colors were amazing!
