Hickory Branch Trail

After deciding, last minute, to stay home for Thanksgiving break rather than head to the beach for a quick getaway, we planned a few adventures to take advantage of the family time a break from school allows. We had some movie and dinner dates, some game afternoons in our pjs, some get-togethers with friends and neighbors, and one lovely hike. We packed a backpack full of leftover pie and whip cream, and headed to the Hickory Branch trailhead at nearby Curtis Creek. The weather was absolutely beautiful as we walked along the river. We sat at one waterfall to enjoy our snack, then headed up and up and up to the top of the mountain where we were awarded with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. Being together, in nature, with bellies full of pie ~ that is a lot to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Kelcey, the kids, and I opened the annual Nene Halloween surprise box while David and Alex were camping to celebrate Alex's birthday. Can you guess what was in the box?

Happy Halloween!
