And the adventures begin

well spring is here and that means for us time to go on adventures. Matt pulled out the maps and the hiking books and found us a place to go. It was BEAUTIFUL... STUNNING... just... amazing... BUT it was scary. He didn't know it was so cliffy. Yes.. you know like 100 foot drops and a narrow trail of about 2 1/2 feet in some places. Needless to say i was pretty tense and protective of the little ones in most places and we will not be doing that hike with the children again for a very... VERY long time..

Here are some pictures that i managed to snap because we had one of our amazing helpers with us. ( She is a girl who has helped out with the boys in babysitting and what not since she was 13.. and now tomorrow she turns 20!)
There was a beautiful water fall that the trail went under... I wish i could have got more pictures and had a better camera but my heart remembers the beauty so that's the most important. I'm looking forward to soaking it in without children sometime soon.
