The kids always enjoy nature's jungle gym...
Here we are at the little falls. All the warning signs and gates kind of ruin the view.
We then hiked up to a lookout point over the gorge and a bigger waterfall.
Then we went to the other side of the gorge and took a rigorous trail down to the river below the falls. It was fun exploring, but of course hard to stay out of the water!
When we were at a lookout right above this area, Alice accidentally dropped her water bottle over the edge. Miraculously, I spotted it when we were down at the river, and Alice was able to retrieve it. Phew--I hated the idea of littering!
The hike back up the side of the gorge was a lot of fun, actually. We enjoy a challenging trail, and the kids are great at scampering up anything.
I feel bad for all those suckers spending their savings on taking their kids to Disneyland. This tree ride was free--and no line!
Back at the cabin, it was warm enough (barely) to eat supper on the deck!
But still cool enough to snuggle up with a fire inside while watching a movie.
