The girls and I drove to Spearfish Canyon this morning and hiked a trail to the beautiful Roughlock Falls. It is a must do to drive through the Black Hills in the fall. We haven't done it for so long, I always say every fall that we need to but before we know it the leaves are gone and it is too late. So today I said "Let's go!!!" Unfortunately, Jason couldn't come with but the girls and I were able to manage, barely!! It was a mile hike to get there, easy, but with two girls that wanted me to carry them it got a little tiring. They did awesome on the way out though, taking turns leading us on the trail, even running at times. It was fun to watch them!! And GORGEOUS scenery to say the least. It really did feel like we were in a storybook, Gretchen kept saying "Mom, we are in the forest!!" Like it was magical or something. I did have a slight panic attack when I thought of the possibility of something crazy like a mountain lion could approach us(kind of a problem here in the hills) but I just said a little prayer and felt much better!! Everyone should try to come and visit us during the fall. It is worth the trip to take a drive through the hills and see God's beauty in nature!!
