Autumn in East Tennessee

Last Saturday, we spent the day in the Cherokee National Forest enjoying the beauty of this Fall season! It was an absolutely gorgeous day! We drove up the Cherohala Skyway and hiked out to Huckleberry Bald. We were listening to a Chris Tomlin CD on our drive and this song was just perfect for the day. I've put it on my playlist and I want to share the lyrics with you as well! Indescribable! You are amazing God!

A couple of pictures taken from the car.

It was warm in the sun on top of Huckleberry Bald and Beckett felt the need to take his shirt off! It is a boy thing! Although, Helen wanted to as well! :)
There is a grave on top of the bald and Helen was very interested in the story of the gentleman buried there. I thought this was a sweet picture! As a side note, (and a kind of a yucky note) the man's body had been mauled by wild animals. As I read the inscription on the gravestone, I wondered if it was something that I should have shared with her, but it was already "out there"! Now that she knows what "mauled" is....it has come up in many of her stories. So, if you happen to be around Helen in the near future and she begins talking about animals eating up people's bodies, please know that we aren't some kind of canibalistic family! Just shared a little too much info with our 3 and a half year old! :) Can you imagine what is going on in that little head of hers? Oh my!Helen and her daddy walking along the trail!
This was not posed, I promise! Beckett had reached out and grabbed Helen's hand and they walked along that way for a while! Love it!

Indescribable
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea

Creation's revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring

Every creature unique in the song that it sings

All exclaiming: Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go

Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow

Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light

Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night

None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim You are amazing God

You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.

You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable

You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same

You are amazing God You are amazing God
