Yates Mill Pond (Day 4 of 5)

Day 4 of our long slog through the stay home days dawned bright and beautiful. Our plan was to keep Simon awake and head out to Yates Mill Pond to catch the last of the fall colors. But first, breakfast.

The kids take their trees everywhere with them.


Zac fired up the ol' SLR by doing a quick photo shoot with our in-house watch model, Alice.



Then we headed out to Yates Mill Pond for our family fall hike.


We fueled the kids up with gummies at the very first bench.


Then they spent an hour at the very first fallen tree in the woods. Nature is great for our kids since all they want to do is climb on things and tear things apart. By the time they were done, there was no bark left on this tree trunk.

 





Then they climbed on the dung hill for a while, and even found an assassin bug (Simon knew not to pick it up this time).


We finally headed out on the hike. It went quickly as the kids basically just chased and raced down the trail. We did stop at this cool tree to play for a bit, before heading off to the waterfall.
