Well, the cooler weather has come, at least, for a few days, and we took advantage of it to have a family hike in Gothe State Park.
First, we went down the Big Cypress Trail, and saw a huge cypress tree, approximately 970 years old.

Rescued by Daddy; all is well!
What a great way to spend a Friday afternoon- enjoying God's beautiful creation!
