Cheltenham Badlands

My wonderful friend, Holly, and her family recently purchased a beautiful new home, in Belfountain, which is right around the corner from my in-laws' place in Erin.  We made plans to meet up during our visit there in Thanksgiving and after tossing around a couple of ideas, we decided to take the kids out for a hike to the Cheltenham Badlands in Caledon.

We got there and the kids took off running!

It was busy but not overly crazy and it was a beautiful, sunny, fall day.  The colours were gorgeous, and the hills definitely tired the kids out for the ride home!

Here, Evan and Connor post at the top of a hill - notice Aili, trailing up the right side, right behind the boys!

Before we rounded the next part of the trail, we managed to wrangle the kids all into a group photo!  Left to right:  Vanessa, Connor, Aili, Evan and Alicia

The combination of the blue sky, red earth and blazing colours of the leaves was astounding!

In our hike, I found this tree off to the side - the perfect photo opportunity!  Connor was already way ahead at that point, but I plopped Aili on for a quick pic!

Oh I love the colours of fall!  With orange being my favourite colour, how could I not!
