autumn splendor

It was a perfect day on Saturday & we decided to head to Taylors Falls for some hiking, climbing & beautiful fall colors. We thought lunch out sounded fun, but we quickly learned that while we love Taylors Falls, it is sorely lacking in decent restaurants. Our choices were a musty smelling cafe, or this little outdoor burger joint. After waiting an HOUR for our burgers, they tasted eerily similiar to school cafeteria mystery meat on a bun. Actually, Kendall assured us that her school's burgers were much better than these. We choked down what we needed for survival & went on to have a great day in the bluffs. Here are a few pictures. The sky was clear & blue, so I'm not sure why it looks so white? Any photographers out there?


We had to stop at the ice cream shop of course! Kendall had a chocolate/peanut butter concoction & Jenna went for the coconut/chocolate almond something-or-other. YUMMY!

The Sarah's were having some kind of malfunction & weren't loading properly. :( They may reappear one day..for better or worse.

That JibJab and it's malfunctions. Darn it anyway.

I hope they reappear. They were hysterical. I really think they need a YouTube. The resemblances were uncanny.

Oh, I miss Taylors Falls! We used to jump off the cliffs when I was in high school.
Bad, bad teenager, but I've turned out fine.
ha ha!

hey, your weekend looks like it was fun. Ya can't beat Taylor's falls in the falls..
It's hard to capture blue sky on a sunny day during the peak sun time and not have it turn out white. That is my comment, and I'm not a photographer...but it's true none the less.
