St. Peter's Dome & Morgan Falls

Our family took full advantage of a great (and possibly the last nice) fall weekend. We drove about 20 minutes south to hike to St. Peter's Dome and Morgan Falls. The hike was just over 4 miles roundtrip. Xander did great, Todd carried him on his shoulders a bit, but probably less than a mile. Flint enjoyed a mama ride for the majority of the ride.
We had a beautiful day and gorgeous fall colors, thus the plethora of leaf pictures and some family pictures as well.
 
Sun, blue skies and golden leaves

Obligatory family photo, fortunately we weren't the only ones enjoying the hike
