Last Saturday

Last Saturday we decided to go to Burgess Falls since we will have soccer games on Saturdays the next couple of months.  The Falls had MUCH less water then last time we went.  The water was slower coming over the edge, but not any less beautiful.  It was more peaceful as opposed to roaring! 


We headed down to the top of the Falls, and there was even more room to walk around.  Mercy is a handfull at the top since we take her out of the carrier.  The ground is all rock and pretty uneven, not to mention the water that she continually tries to get in.  We ate our snack and also had a water break...animal crackers and gummies are a favorite. 

Here's Ryan trying to keep Mercy out of the water.  She definitely wants IN!

checking out the water and looking for fish!

I like this picture of Mercy.  I like the boys (including Ryan) in the background.

kisses!

On the way back, we stuck to the trail instead of the main path that we usually walk.  I had never walked this trail before.  Ryan had done it with the boys a couple times when Mercy was very tiny, and therefore, she and I didn't make the trip.  We saw a snake and a lizard on the trial.  This is Middle Falls...the perfect spot for another water break.

Aedan and I at Middle Falls.  Yes, we are HOT!!!
