Seize the day - hiking and kayaking

We've endured mid-90-degree temperatures for weeks. A storm came through Monday, dropping the temperature to the 60s that night. Next morning, we awoke to a cool 62 degrees. It's a tad early for fall weather, but boy, do we welcome the change!

We took advantage of the cool weather and went hiking at our favorite Foster Falls. We haven't been there since April. The falls were flowing pretty well from the recent rainstorms.

It was still nice in the late afternoon. We drove over to nearby Marion County Park to see some boating friends and do a "sea-trail" of our new 2-seater inflatable kayak (see video below for more details.)
What a beautiful day!
Thanks to our friends, we got some nice pictures and videos of the lovely day kayaking at the park.

    Love your pictures and video. What a gorgeous park setting, beautiful green lawn with sky reflected on the flat calm water. You cannot pick a better day to do your kayak sea trial. Thanks for sharing.
