October was filled with fires, hikes, marshmallows and dirt. We went on two overnight campouts. The first was with the ward and the second was with Mark's lab. Ellie enjoyed the dirt, fire, trees and hikes. She didn't like sleeping in mom's sleeping bag and it was mutual. We didn't sleep very well. But who really expects to get a great night of sleep camping. We are planning to camp during the Thanksgiving weekend so we must have enjoyed it.

We also went on a hike along a creek surrounded by the trees full of beautiful fall leaves. I have included a pictures of the wall/cliff that we scaled to get down to the water. Mark climbed this with Ellie on his back. I was amazed and really grateful that he was far enough in front of me that I didn't know what he was doing until he was down. I would have turned around and climbed straight back up the hill if she was on my back. He is much more sturdy and confident in his rock climbing/baby carrying abilities.

This was our final destination
