Fall Hike

We had a pretty mild October and November. Even December started out with some very mild temps. One day we almost reached 70 degrees. Thank God for days like that to help us get through the cold Winter months. We took a nice Fall Hike on a Sunday, the second week of November. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day. No need for coats, just a light jacket. We went to a park in Nashua we had never been to. It had nice wide paths and narrower ones if you wanted to go off the beaten path. Here are some pictures from that day.

The paths were covered with leaves. The smell and sounds of Fall made the hike even better.


We came upon a bridge and Emily, Callie and Todd stopped to look at the sights around them.



This is what was under the bridge. The picture doesn't capture all the beauty but you can see how nice it was.


We came upon a building along the water with what looked like a dam. Here is Todd and the girls figuring out why it is there and how it all works. Callie had a lot of questions.


Here is the sign explaining what it is.



Emily resting while we stopped to look at our surroundings again.


You can see the waterfall and building in the back of this picture. I just love the sun and its rays!!! Like I said, it was a beautiful day.



The girls posing for a picture. We sat at this little inlet and rested before heading back to the car. We could see a boat, the Fall leaves, feel the sun's heat and hear a high school football game.
There were quite a few other people there hiking or biking.





When we got back to the car we all were wishing that our favorite ice cream shop, Axels, was still open so we headed over to Friendly's and had an early dinner and ice cream to finish out a nice day with the family.
