Family Hikes!

Its that time of year where getting outside is hard and its getting colder. We did our best to get outside this fall to enjoy the weather before it gets too cold and we are forced to stay in. (Although I am a big fan of bundling up and just going out no matter what!) We took a few trips this October to check out the leaves, play (of course) and attempt to hike. Ironically throwing rocks in the water/stream was the girls favorite part.  The best part about our adventures was its something the whole family enjoyed!

We traveled to a few state parks and also visited some nearby trails. We even brought Grandmas with us too! The best tip I have for traveling with toddlers is bring food. Lots of food. Lots of snacks. We also learned our lesson and should have brought a picnic lunch for some of our adventures. Next year!

Carrying 27lbs of baby is a pretty good workout...especially up and down stairs!

We also like to pretend every log is a playground and a good spot for a snack :)

We are lucky enough to have a nature preserve by our house. So we tend to go there quite a bit and take mini trips :) I can't wait to walk through it in the snow with the girls. Its a nice reminder that some of your most memorable moments are just steps away! No need to go anywhere. Just get out and play!

I am a bit sad to see all these gorgeous leaves go but am thankful for our memories this year!

Happy November! Enjoy the rest of those leaves!
