Lexi was wearing one of her Hannah Montana shirts, with her Hannah lunch box and decided to pose like Hannah! Yes, she is obsessed!
Today we decided to try out our hiking legs again. This place is in our tiny city, was about 2.5 miles total hiking and was GORGEOUS!The first waterfall (remember, this is the wrong season for viewing waterfalls. The river is at is lowest point).
it is called a temperate rain forest, very beautiful. The ground covering is soft, the air is cool and smells RIDICULOUSLY clean!
Look at how TALL Kyler is, he is ONLY 7!!
It was so sweet, when I was taking this photo Kyler thought Lexi was going to fall off, so he wrapped his arm around her to protect her.
We stopped and played here. The water was crystal clear and beautiful. The kids raced their "boats" down this drop.
We saw trout and crawdads.
Loving dad, so sweet.
The second falls.
The third falls.
This hike has been our most successful yet as far as distance and complaints go. It was about 2.5 miles, which we breezed through, and we heard almost no complaints about tired legs. I think the kids are slowly, but surely, gaining stamina. We want to attempt a 3-4 mile hike next time.

It was such a beautiful setting and Jared was amazed that it is all so close to our home. It is still hard to believe this is our life now, we have the outdoors all around us. Everyday there are so many options to entertain us and it just so happens to be the things we love. I love the fact that our children are growing up with a respect and appreciation for nature, wildlife and our planet.
