Hiking

Today was a beautiful Saturday in the Bluegrass.  Cousin Hunter was in town, and everybody needed an activity, so Matt took the kids to go hiking at some friends' farm on the Kentucky River Palisades.  Our friends' son, fellow adoptee John, came with us as we hiked down a ravine from the top of the Palisades, all the way down to the Kentucky River.
