Family fun day

Monday was family fun day. Since I, as a pastor, don't have a "weekend off" in the same way that most people do, we try to make my day off on Mondays as much like the weekend as possible. So we went out hiking, ate a picnic lunch out of our cooler and then went hiking at another park. We ended our hike at a 100' waterfall, which was absolutely beautiful, and ended the day tired, slightly wet, smelling of salt, sweat, and creek water, and deeply contented with life. Here's a couple of the photos:
