this place is awesome.
i kept saying "i love this place".
it's a long walk to get there.
with beautiful views in every direction.
then through a path in the woods
down a slippery muddy hill
to this beautiful shady spot.
i wish i was there right now.
an instant calm comes over me here.
it's the cool feeling of shade, the sound of the water, the discovery to come...
craig said he wished we could have hammock there to take a nap.
that would be such a cool place for it.
(with a mosquito net of course)
when you lift up rocks there are always crawdads.
nasty little things.
but kids sure have fun catching them.
craig offered $1 to whoever found "the best heart rock for mom".
(ahhh he's sweet)
we came home with 6 rocks and 3 kids got a dollar.
it felt mean to only pick one.
the only way to get a picture together....
and i am no longer taking "cheese" photos but this one was just too good.
she loves the camera.
i love my camera too.
after the water fall we found a spot at the lake to skip rocks.
i was so happy that we weren't done yet.
i didn't want to leave.
i forced bribed begged for a family picture.
is this the most stage-of-life appropriate photo or what?!
