On Saturday we spent the day at
Itaska State Park with Russ & Kristy's family enjoying the gorgeous Fall foliage. The weather was perfect - cool and crisp with no wind and no clouds! We biked, checked out the
Mississippi Headwaters, romped in the leaves, hiked and
geocached.
The kids scrambled across the headwaters a number of times. Abby was a little more tentative and asked for help from a very nice lady while I snapped away with my camera. I'm so helpful!
I went nuts taking pictures of the trees and leaves.
Nixin thought the log chair near the old timers cabin, which I called the "thinking chair", was great because he is in love with Blue's Clues.
Of course, there were leaf wars too.
We ended our fantastic day at an amazing German restaurant in Park Rapids called Schwarzwald Restaurant. We ate here once before and for the past year have talked about the rinderbraten, homemade noodles with gravy and the sauerkraut.
