South Bound to Morgan Monroe

I am so pooped. Today we traveled south to Morgan Monroe Nat'l Forest and did a hike again with the kids. We probably only hiked 2 miles today but it felt much longer. Today we discovered black walnuts on the trail. We also saw a juicy, green caterpillar. I offered it to both Sophie and Ian for lunch but they preferred Mc Donald's. John and I considered the caterpillar :-).
Then we headed to Oliver Winery. I know it doesn't sound like a place to take the kids but they love it and they're not the only ones. They have a pond in the back stocked with brightly colored fish. The fish come right up to the surface...practically standing on their tails begging to be fed. Sophie and Ian just giggle and giggle at the fish.
My favorite part is the landscape and pumpkins. They have an amazing gardener. This winery is beautiful in every season but I think fall is my favorite time of year there. We might have to make it back one more time before it gets too cold.


I loved this photo of Sophie, also taken at Oliver Winery. My little girl is getting so big ;-(
