Fall Creek Falls State Park, TN
















Three weeks ago we spent a nice long weekend with family at a cabin in Fall Creek Falls, TN. It was exactly the kind of vacation you want to take in October when the leaves are changing and the weather is just starting to get cool. We hike down into waterfalls and canyons during the day, spent the evenings in front of the fireplace inside the cabin and drank our coffee on the back deck while watching deer in the woods. We enjoyed the experience so much that our family already has another cabin reserved at Devil's Den State Park, AR for next year.

Collin, unfortunatly was sick most of that weekend, but thank god he is an outdoor boy! Despite the high fever, soar throat and congestion, we loaded him with medicine, put him in the carrier pack and took him hiking with us. The weather stayed between 60-70 degrees. The fresh cool air seemed to help him. Collin kept is eyes wide open and hung out in the front pack, taking it all in.

It is amazing how well matched he is with our family. Jason and I love being active and Collin is happiest when doing the same. We thank God for him every evening in our prayers.
