2nd hike of 2014

WOW!  We made it to Rocky Mouth; our 2nd hike of this season.

It was so much fun and of course, these kids are awesome!

 Let's get started...

*Rio, Reese, Jax & Carson*

*Logan, Avery, Austin and Lucas*

 Climbing up, up, up

 Logan showing me that "no he did not eat dirt."  Ya right!

He's so cute!

 There is a little cave that only goes back a little way but the kids thought it was pretty cool to sneak back there and explore

Smile!

Pretty cool cave for these littles. 

 The kids learned that yes, it is always easier to climb up and a little more tricky to climb down.  Thank goodness Roxy was able to get up there and we formed a little train coming down.

Thanks for rescuing Jax!

 We made it to the end - this beautiful waterfall and of course, the kids didn't stop there...they climbed all the way up to the top!

 Get up there!

Reese is on the left of the picture almost to the top.  She is such a brave little girl and loves climbing!

 They all made it - they were so cute trying to figure out where to stand

 You do it guys!  Way to go!  No fear here.

 Logan started to get a little nervous so after I got him down, I grabbed this quick pic of my other 3.  I was so proud of them.

 After the waterfall climb, we stopped and played in the run off water for quite awhile and looked for rocks.

 My little 4 :)

Blake stayed at home with Grandma Marsha and we sure missed him.  I so appreciated the support for Blake though so I didn't have to worry about him and could concentrate better on Logan.

 Love this girl so much!  She is so much fun and always up for an adventure just like me.  I'm so grateful for her and her spontaneous personality!

 Every time we go somewhere, I'm always tempted to maybe leave Logan because it would just be easier but then I always think that he deserves these fun experiences too and honestly, he is an amazing kid!  For not even being 2 yet, he did just as well as these 4 and 5 year olds.  So proud of my Logan!

 Rio found her rocks and was proud to show them off.

 Austin loves butterflies and so glad to find this one.  I'm pretty sure it had drowned but I didn't tell him that.  He was happy to "have it rest on my finger"

 Jax was awesome at finding really cool colored rocks.

Beautiful place!  Such a simple, easy, quick little hike and totally worth the beautiful reward at the top!

Okay, where to go next...
