The day at Fall Creek Falls

 

With dad being off on Monday (Columbus Day) we loaded up with him for an adventure day. Off we go to Fall Creek Falls to meet Granny and Pappy and a couple other golf buddies. 20141013_073510

The leaves changing colors and covering the roadway was really nice.  Made for a gorgeous drive through the parkIMG_7836 s

I made a quick walk down to the Piney falls while Si slept and Granny read about them
