This morning was a particularly brisk morning. Rick was not working and we had decided to go to Independence Trail for a family hike. That's right, it was 51 degrees when we left the house for the trail head (about 10 minutes away).
Caroline was kind enough to point out where the trail began.
So we packed up Gil
And Jack, and off we went!
This was such a great way to talk about God as Creator.
And Jack, and off we went!This was such a great way to talk about God as Creator. We made up a game like "I Spy" and instead said,
"I see something that God made and it's green!"
Caroline found all kinds of things that God made including the acorns (that weighed my pockets down the longer we hiked).

She decided it should go into our refrigerator to keep it cold.
There are several of these awesome bridges along the way.

Hang on Jack!
Jack loves to go for hikes.
Jack, Daddy & Gil
Caroline had a chance to lead Gil while we were on our hike.
Rick found this fallen tree and decided to CONQUER!!
This was a great family outing. We really needed some connect time with each other. It was another opportunity for us to cultivate a love for God as Creator in our children.
