Nature Power!!!!!!

Went to Red River Gorge today with Rachel and Walker. Had a GREAT time!!! We stopped by the rest stop at Slade and explored the red caboose. It was open today and we got to go inside. WE drove past through the Nada tunnel and along highway 77 into the gorge area. It was beautiful. We rolled down the windows and I felt the stress melt away. We were remarking about it and Jacob said, "nature power." Nature truely does have a wonderful relaxing power for me. We stopped at a log cabin with picnic tables for lunch, then we drove on down to the Gladie Learning Center and the boys all worked on the Learning Page and they gave them Smokey the Bear pins :) We hiked the Whistle Arch trail and spent some time climbing on rocks. After the hiking we stopped by the pool at Natural Bridge. We left at 10 am and didn't get home until 6!! Anthony didn't want to get out of bed to go with us. He ended up going to the library for a teen craft program, although I think he really went to see a girl ;)

Looks like a fun day! The Bee Balm is my favorite flower. We've been trying to decide where to plant a bed of it at the farm. My favorite picture is the one of the "tree huggers," of course!
