One of our favorite family traditions is visiting Cascade Springs in the Autumn to take pictures in the leaves.

We have visited Cascade Springs every year since Ben was born and I love to look through the progression of our family through the pictures.  It was one of the first outings we took our girls on when they were finally well enough to get out the year they were born.  We also found our home that we live in now when we detoured after that visit.  Cascade Springs holds a special place in our heart.

Here’s a few highlights from our visit this past weekend:

I love the Maples in all their Autumn glory.

Ben spent his time trying to climb trees and turning the tripod into a gun.  He also spent a fair amount of time trying to catch a fish with his bare hands leaning over the boardwalks that span the Springs.

We’ve posed in this tree every year for the past 9 years.   I love that somethings stay the same.

I was happy to get a good shot with my girls.  Oh the Maples… it’s hard to get a bad shot with the Maples as a backdrop.

Going to Cascade Springs reminded me how important it is to connect with nature.   As we drove up the canyon… my worries and cares seem to fade away and I felt renewed.

I hope our family can keep going to Cascade Springs every year until I’m too old to make the short walk…. like maybe when I’m 97.
