Hike

We went for a hike last Sunday (Oct. 5) at Love Creek in Berrien Springs. The leaves haven't changed QUITE as much as we were hoping, but we still had a good time getting some fresh air and moving around. A few years ago, we were hiking here when the salmon were spawning and swimming up the creek—Nate caught a HUGE one in his bare hands. We didn't see any fish this year, but it was still gorgeous. I love how if we are feeling anxious or argumentative or stressed out as a family, we get hiking (or biking) and something about "falling in" to that single file line, and working as a team, even if it's just WALKING, makes everyone settle down and relax. It's a beautiful thing!
