Weekend Getaway

One of my most favorite things about this time of year is all the time I get to spend with my hubby and the kids.  Not that we aren't busy spending time together the rest of the year, but in the Spring, Summer and Fall we spend alot of time outside.  

This weekend we our heading down to our "Cavin" (as Landon use to call it) for some R&R and lots of hiking of course!! 
It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive to this beautiful State Park and it is a sight to see.  I honestly didn't think Indiana had anything but corn fields, but after seeing Turkey Run for the first time 2 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised. 
This was taken last year on one of my favorite trails.  Our youngest is in a wrap on my back.  The kids were amazing.  They hiked for two days and the second day they put in 5 1/2 hours!!!


I love that we haven't stopped doing the things that we always enjoyed just because we have little kids.  We change cloth diapers and I nurse the baby right on the trails.  We stop and enjoy the scenery when the kids need a snack or a little break.  We learn about different trees and plants and and animal tracks.  It's so peaceful that I can hardly wait to inhale the fresh air and the beauty and be with my adorable little family in our own little paradise.
