An autumn hike

A few weeks ago we decided to go for a small autumn hike. The original plan was to do a full day hike, but due to the amount of unpacked boxes in the house as well as the need to get some furniture we decided to only do a 4h hike. In any case, the drive back and forth added another 3h to the trip.

We drove up to Vogel State Park where there are a few hiking trails and some campsites. To our surprise it was quite a bit colder "up" in the mountains (the difference is only a few hundred meters) and autumn had progressed quite a bit further as well. Fortunately there was a small shop on the spot so we could buy gloves for Morgan. The hike itself was very nice and Morgan was a happy bunny for most of it. During the break he got a bit cold though and we had to add a layer of clothing for him.

Next time we will do the full day hike though!

Morgan is in the backpack, sunglasses are on. We're ready to go!

The sunglasses came off pretty quickly and Morgan wanted a hat instead. Daddy is trying to figure out where to go

Morgan was enjoying all the leaves

More trees and leaves

Towards the end of the first half Morgan was getting a bit cold.

A break and more clothing was needed

Not to forget some snacks

There was also time for a family picture

And we're on the road again

Even though the autumn had advanced quite far here, there were still lots of different colours
