These are some pictures from this fall.   It has been so  beautiful and now the leaves are coming down ready to start a new season. 

I took care of the girls one day a week ago and had a few minutes to go out on the pond. 

The girls have so much fun playing on the boat and it was a sunny afternoon.  

Last weekend Pa and I took a motorcycle up the valley and here is Table Rock on a clear day.

Our ride went as far as the Balsm's where we found the old ballon factory completely gone.  The front of this building is beautiful, but around back they are removing several buildings.  The hotel and restaurant are closed for now.  

King and Queen of the mountain!
This weekend the girls stayed with us Friday night and then after church Sunday we hiked Table Rock.
Before we started we could tell that it was above the clouds.  When we got to the top you could not see anything.  

By this time Delilah was happy to take a ride.  

There were a lot of people hiking and Estella and Brenna encourage folks along the way.   They have both hiked this mountain many times without one complaint.   Delilah made it most of the way and then Becca rescued her.   You can see the cloud behind us.

If you have not watched the movie"Croods", you should.  Well all the way up the entire family recited lines from the movie.  Estella playing the teenage daughter and Brenna being the wild baby.   It is about a cave dwelling family and along the trail there are lots of caves.  There is also a mother-in-law relationship going on through the whole thing and I am happy to say that Richie did not throw me over the cliff.
