We spent Thanksgiving at Mount Magazine State Park in Arkansas.  Each family was assigned a cabin overlooking the valley below to stay in.

When I looked out the glass doors that lead to the deck our first morning there, here is what I saw. It truly looked like we would be walking on clouds if we stepped a few yards away from the cabin.

When I looked just to the left of our cabin, this glorious sight came into view. The clouds truly looked like they were glowing in the early morning light.

Looking back off the deck an hour later the sky continued to lighten up and the clouds appeared to have lost some of their puffiness. If you look carefully at the back of the picture, you can see the flat top of a neighboring ridge.

As the day went on the clouds lifted off from their perch over the valley and took flight. There were strong winds that pushed them away and kept my hair fluttering around me as I took this shot.

Even as the sky became a deeper blue the clouds stayed with us. The wind died down some and the day became warmer.

By the time we started our walk to the Mount Magazine Lodge for Thanksgiving dinner, we could look across the landscape. Our cabin is on the left-hand side of the picture.

JDaniel loved searching out bugs and other wildlife under this now vivid blue sky as we walked. We came across a dozen flying grasshoppers on our way to lunch as well as a walking stick.

Mount Magazine was a truly wonderful place to hold our family reunion over the Thanksgiving holiday. I have more pictures I will share with you later as well as the adventure we had sleeping in the airport on our way to Mount Magazine. It will be up tomorrow.
