The Falls

We really had a lot of visitors this summer. Five sets within a month to be exact! One of our last was Grandpa Don, who we had to take to the Falls. Kids hiked almost the entire way on their own and it is a pretty steep hike! This specific trip really meant something to me-The last time I hiked this was days before I broke my back. After two years (and some pilates) I felt like I was ready to take it on. I made it up and down with very minimal back pain! It showed me just how far I really have come. And just how much I do love pilates. :)  Enjoy the millions of pictures!

Isn't it beautiful?!


Just taking a quick breather. 
This picture is by far my favorite from the trip. She is such a goof. 

Finally, we made it to the top!

After getting to the top, we decided to take a quick cool off in the water before heading back down.

Some of us a little more than others. :)

Ella decided this was a great opportunity to get Grandpa even more wet!


Love this picture of these two. Come to find out, Grandpa didn't think it through all that well. He still had to hike DOWN the mountain with very heavy wet jeans on. Oops!

After this long of a hike the kids certainly deserved some shaved ice!

Stay tuned, we are almost caught up!
