Fall Break

We spent most of our Fall Break enjoying the outdoors. The weather was beautiful and there is just something so refreshing about being outside soaking in nature!

 Thursday we went hiking up at Osage Hills with some friends.

 

Katelyn enjoyed her freedom when she wasn't being carried. And Austin caught a frog.

We hiked to the river, ate lunch, and played at the playground. It was perfect!

Then we spent Friday and Saturday camping out at Natural Falls State Park with Jeff and Andrea's family, Brian and Angie's family, and my parents.

After getting our tents set up, we took the short hike to the dripping springs.

And during our hike we ran across some soccer friends from home.



After a game of Frisbee golf, we cooked foil dinners over the hot coals.

They tasted delicious.
And we ended our evening with s'mores over the campfire! Yummy!! 



The kids had fun spending time with their cousins. The girls spent most of their time at the playground area and the boys spend lots of time playing soccer or baseball at the open field.

Not the easiest environment for these babies but they did great and went along with the flow.

Playing together in one of the tents.

I wasn't sure how the kids would do sleeping overnight especially because it got pretty chilly into the low 40's overnight. But they did great (better than mom and dad)!

My parents made pancakes, bacon, and eggs for breakfast. Plus they made hot chocolate which tasted so good and helped keep us warm during the morning chill. It was a fun weekend getaway!
