Hiking in the Blue Mountains

This weekend we explored our own "backyard."   We had a great family day starting with Klicker's Pumpkin Patch. 

 Here we all are having fun picking our pumpkins and sliding down the giant slide.  What fun!

Then we headed to our closest mountains, the Blues (The Blue Mountains).  Up Mill Creek (the creek that runs by out house), we followed the road until it turned to dirt.  Then followed that up the mountain looking for a trailhead and a hike.  What we found was a surprisingly nice day in the mist where the sun would peak through and then the mist would come swirling back in.  Here are Dakota and Wren enjoying the misty day.

Here you can really see the mist that surrounded our hike.  We were all a little bit chilly not realizing that it would be quite so cold.  But we hiked to keep warm and got to munch on some wild blueberries along the way.

At the end of our hike we found this amazing tree completely covered with old man's beard. 

After the hike we headed back down the mountain to the Corn Maze.  A good maze with an underground tunnel and a bridge. Super fun!
