although we are having a lovely fall this year, i still feel a sense of stress as winter lurks closer.
i feel a need to get out as much as we can.
there is this plot of land , just 10 minutes west of where we live, called the Sandy Cross Conservation.
it is a pretty, kid-friendly place to take kids for a hike.
we went there last summer and then kinda forgot about it until this last weekend.
on this past sunday afternoon, we took our boys there for a nice fall walk.
this is what the area looks like right now. if you are facing west, you have an awesome view of the mountains and, if you are facing north, you have an awesome view of downtown calgary.
here are pictures from our walk:
(this picture was not staged, but matt will still be embarrassed of it! good thing he only looks on here every couple months!)
and this is my favorite picture from that walk.
the sun was in the perfect spot so, yes, i did make my boys sit in the middle of the path to take a picture!
and, i'd say, it was worth it :)
and this is from a walk we went on with cousins after thanksgiving dinner last week:
