Rock City

We had a fun family outing the day before Thanksgiving.  We drove out to Rock City.  We weren't sure it would be worth the drive for a fairly short stay (we had to be back by the evening) but it ended up being a lot of fun.  This was the kind of place where our kids were in their element.   It was really nice just being out in nature with no cell service for a few hours together.  I loved it.

The kids had a blast exploring and climbing around.  It was a bit colder than we were expecting (we didn't realize it's a much higher elevation) but the sun was shining and we braved the cold the best we Californians could.  Poor Nate learned the hard way that you should listen to your parents and not wear shorts while rock climbing in the cold.  We'll see if the lesson sticks.
 The kids loved eating their lunch up on this rock:
 After lunch we found some snow on the ground and had kids-and-Mom vs. Dad snow ball fight. :)
Elizabeth was such a daredevil!  She was scaring us to death.  That girl just loves to climb:
Natalie and I joined her for a bit:
We had fun climbing to the top of this big rock:
Not a bad way to spend a day!
