Hiking at Bridal Veil Falls

What a day! Alan's sister Kristi is visiting from Boston, so we grabbed our kids and headed up to Bridal Veil Falls for the afternoon. On the way to the falls the kids collected treasures, aka rocks, to be saved for throwing when we reached the water. We had a blast playing in the water, throwing rocks, and of course endlessly chasing the kids. Aubrey, Cameron and Christian took their first hike of the summer by trying to climb up to the falls. It became apparent that the dirt was too slick and they soon came sliding down. Tonight I found rashes on all three of their little bottoms...we must have hit some rocks on the way down! On the way back to the car we collected caterpillars and inspected dozens (although it seemed like hundreds) of leaves for caterpillar holes. We topped it off by playing on the playground and stopping for ice cream on the way home. I love summer!!
