Tommy was the most excited about this outing. We were going hiking as a family! It was a very hot day, with a promise of waterfalls and a swim! It was a long drive, and I am one for keeping my head down so I don't make those dreadful scared noises while my very capable husband drives. So when my phone says "No service" I knew we were almost there.
The water was cold, and rocky. The kids enjoyed some slides that were naturally made in the rocks. Not the most smooth, but I was impressed that the big kids tried it out.
Not my usual habitat, but I was there!
I couldn't believe how well the kids hiked. Not one complaint, or annoyance uttered, except maybe by myself. James just wanted to be helpful and carry a backpack with the camelback water. He wasn't a quick hiker, but was so happy to just be along and chat with Daddy, who slowed his pace to be with his little feet.
The bigger kids were so fast, and Patrick had the next biggest pack. All the scouting trips and hikes sure helped his endurance. The falls we stopped at were the lower ones, as I knew by looking at how steep it was that the kids wouldn't make it.
And, most of all, it was lovely!
