hiking to the falls

Before we started off on our adventure there was much work to do...finding logs and stacking them in a big pile...you know, just in case we needed to build a fire or something.
Then we were delayed a little bit so we could watch the garbage truck lift a huge dumpster...nature is an interesting thing.
Finally we were off. Ansley got the best view and didn't even break a sweat the whole time.

Along the way we saw views like this...and found the original Pali road. I can't imagine how bumpy that ride would have been.Then we finally made it to the falls and the kids had a blast climbing up the rocks, splashing in the pools, and sliding down the muddy slippery falls.
That looks like trouble. Not quite sure what they were scheming in this picture.
Jude took a short break to "fish" a bit with the stick he found...no need to worry, no fish were harmed...because, well, there weren't any fish in this stream since it is a run-off of the mountains.

What a fun place to live.Beautiful waterfalls AND recycling trucks!

I am looking at these pictures and freezing and then remember that you are all probably wearing appropriate clothing and it is not 50 degrees there!

You look so cute, too :)

How fun. Need to take the trail when ever I get to come back. Have a Happy Thanksgiving as we thank God for His many blessings and His goodness to us. Mom
