Beautiful Weather

We woke up Saturday morning to beautiful weather, getting up to the 70s. Well you can't sit around the house on a day like that in November! We packed up some lunches got dressed in our hiking gear and headed out to Shenandoah. The leaves were a wee bit past prime but it was a beautiful afternoon and the colors were still impressive. After a visit to the visitors center and touching all of the display stuff there we headed out to a short hike with a nice view. I should remember nice view always means rocks with sharp drops. This experience always leads to heightened anxiety for me even when it's just me and Oscar, add in my curious children and I'm a heartbeat away from a heart attack. Oscar likes to climb all over the rocks and Luli really wanted to climb with him. So it was *fun* keeping her with me! You can see in the pictures that I've got anxiety written all over it. Other than that we had a great time and really enjoyed the beautiful skyline drive and hike.

You're so brave! It looks like you had a great time, except for the nonstop fear, of course!
