A walk in a park

 We had a really great day yesterday with family.  Right now our kids and grandkids are part of our "bubble", but we do try to make most of our time together outside.  


We grilled burgers and hotdogs at our older daughter's house and then went to a nearby state park for an afternoon of exploration.  Palisades is a beautiful area of rocky bluffs along the Big Sioux River in southeastern South Dakota.  It has easy hiking trails, lots of rock formations, a campground, lots of picnic spots - everything a family could ask for on a beautiful fall day.  The 5 grandkids had a blast climbing rocks and threatening to jump into the river.  


I'm so glad my girls suggested we get together and enjoy the outdoors - NOT on a golf course for a change.  I've lived in SD since 1972 (except for 1976-78) and had never been to this state park. Hopefully we'll go there again.  And maybe next summer we could actually explore some other state parks we've never seen.
