Date Night: Hiking the Trails!

 

Fall seems to have settled in for real around here…though I saw Colorado is having measurable snowfall, so I will happily settle for some chilly (and possibly rainy) days and nights.

            Last Friday was presumably our last nice, warm, colorful evening before the chilly part of the season arrived, and Ryan surprised me with a suggestion for a date night!

            One of the places in our general area that we hadn’t explored yet was the Loblolly Marsh Nature Preserve. We headed out on such a whim that we didn’t have time to properly research it, and we learned there is more to see than we had time (daylight) to explore, so we’ll need to go back for more. But the part we did see was SO beautiful, and the evening really perked up in beauty while we were there. It was pretty cloudy when we arrived, but the sun came out and blessed us with a stunning end to the night.

            Lexi had so much fun tagging along and enjoying ALL the free smells along the way. And I was so excited to see DEER! I managed not to completely squeal, but I did love watching them.

            Here are some of our photos from the evening. ENJOY!
