Hiking at Minnehaha Falls

We were getting a little tired of going to the zoo every weekend, so we decided to head over to Minnehaha Falls for some hiking, beauty, and fresh air. The weather was gorgeous--warm, yet breezy. It is most definitely beginning to feel like fall, and with the change of season comes mixed emotions--excited to pull out the jeans and sweaters, yet sad to pack up the tank tops and shorts. Lets face it, the real sadness comes with having to unpack the snowpants, and Ugg boots. I am always welcoming Fall, but never quite ready for winter.

Today was actually our 7th wedding Anniversary. Wow, how the time has flown--and at the same time, neither of us can really remember life before we were together. Marriage has definitely been an amazing journey, and has of course produced our two most beloved children. They are such a joy to us, so really it seems right that we spent today together as a family. (Oh, and we did go out for a date night on Friday night to celebrate--so don't feel too sorry for us :))

Anyhow, Minnehaha was beautiful--we hiked, threw rocks into the river, hiked some more, answered all of Hayden's questions along the way (which makes for not a very peaceful hike, might I add), and then packed up and headed to the 5-8 club for burgers baskets and fried food.

It was a really, really nice day.
