I'm not sure if I've ever been able to do an outdoor activity on my birthday...let me know if you remember a particular birthday in the past...maybe I went ice skating in Korea or something when I was little. (And, I didn't get to walk in the snow to Saxby's when I was in the 5th grade, so I guess that doesn't count...haha! If only I could have had my own tray!) Ryan and I watched the weather for a week, hoping the warm weather would hold out and it did! We decided to go to Fall Creek Falls state park, just under an hour south of us. It was even closer then we thought (according to google maps). The trail ended up being PERFECT! There were some rocky climbs and then some easier parts. There were bridges to cross, rocks to take a break on, and the trail was also wide enough for two people to walk side by side. I think the loop we did was 1.6 miles. We started out at Fall Creek Falls waterfall and then hiked to another, had a snack, and hiked back. Both of the boys did great...a little dragging at the end, but great:)
ready to go...with their walking sticks:)

Ryan checking out the map to see which way we should go! Mercy is chilling in her backpack. We got this for Christmas from my mom (off ebay~great deal). So glad we got one with a cover, or Mercy would have had braches hitting her the entire time.
before the hike:)
here we go!
We called this the Clemson stream since it was orange!

Here we are at Cane Creek Falls taking a break. It was a little trecherous to get down to...the boys had to stay seated:)
Aedan sipping a juice box. Juice boxes are a real treat for the boys. (I usually don't keep them around the house.)
Ryan is showing Josiah Cane Creek Falls.
