Hiking the Forest Falls

We went for a fun little family hike to Forest Falls. We all had fun and there was only one little mishap (note last picture).

Acacia was thrilled to ride on Uncle Kenny's shoulders. Kenny originally put Luca on his shoulders and was running around with him making him laugh hysterically. Acacia thought it looked like so much fun that she followed Kenny around anxiously waiting a turn. She was ecstatic when it was her turn. What an awesome uncle. What an even awesomer (I'll make up a new word) brother!!

Daddy's little girl loved the hike. She didn't want to be held too much. She begged and pleaded every time we picked her up to be let down. It didn't seem like such a bad idea to let her roam around a little bit, but we were wrong. (Again, note the last picture).

Luca loved chasing around Uncle Kenny. Kenny is a lot of fun for my children.

This tree is hollowed out because it's been struck by lightning. It was an awesome tree, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity for a quick photo shoot. They are actually standing inside the trunk of the tree.

Look closely at the third eye in the middle of Acacia's forehead. She face planted right into a nice big rock. It broke my heart. She only screamed for about a minute and then wanted right back down to start exploring again. She loved collecting rocks. Actually it was holding a rock that calmed her down after her little mishap. The rock made everything all better. She's such an outdoors little girl. I guess she was born into the right family.

Poor girl! Good thing she is tough!!!

I did that to myself when I was pregnant with Adalyn and again last Christmas Eve. I am going to try to take it easy this season.
