Gran had the wonderful idea to go for a hike at Oak Mountain today, and since it was spur-of-the-moment, I didn't have time to grab my trekking poles or the baby backpack. So Dennis hiked (and by this I mean actually walked on his own feet) the trail to Peavine Falls, and he did GREAT! He stayed with us and pointed out interesting leaves and sticks to us and kept up a fairly good pace the entire time. We had an incredible time. The weather was perfect, sunny and gorgeous with peak fall colors decorating the trees. We kept having to stop on the drive up the mountain to exclaim over the beauty of the leaves on this tree or that. Dennis made the walk so much more enjoyable with his commentary and his excitement over being able to "walk in the woods" all by himself. He climbed rocks and picked up sticks and especially vibrant leaves, he showed us the pinecones and encouraged us to "go faster, guys!". What a great day to be outside!
