Lost Maples State Park

Of all the things we've done this fall that have kept us hoppin', one of my favorites by far was going to visit Lost Maples State Park. Someone in our Classical Conversations group put together a field trip for their class, and our family tagged along. Michael took the day off and we went up together. Turns out it's just about an hour and a half from our house, but it feels like like Ozarks or something! It was beautiful. We were about a week past peak, but it was still a WONDERFUL time!! The weather was cool, but not cold. Just right for spending a day outside hiking. We took the hiking trail that was just about 5 miles round trip. A couple of times Josiah said "I've changed my mind, this isn't fun like I thought" but then he would see something cool and bound off with his brothers forgetting all about those aching legs. It was so much fun!

Here are some photos from the trip.

Isn't that cute!!!

We were so glad we made the trip. We'll be back!!
