We love taking the kids hiking (and they seem to have fun and like it) so we decided to go back to South Mountain State Park. We decided to hike up to the falls. OH.MY.WORD! What a hike! What seemed like hundreds of VERY steep stairs on a very HOT day. I was waiting for all the whining and complaining to start, but the kids did great!

 |

This was only the first half of the hike. I have no pictures after this so I think I must have been just too hot and tired to take any more. :) It was a fun but very exhausting day. We hope the kids grow up to really love the outdoors and enjoy what God created for us. (They'll probably hate hiking after all this :) )
