Memorial Day Hike

We had a BBQ with Lee's family at his mom and dad's house for Memorial day. They have lived there for about a year, so the exploring still feels like an adventure. Actually, I don't think it will ever get old. Tyler often comes down from the hillside with his pockets so full of rocks that his pants are only staying up because he is holding them up. We actually got to the house a bit early that day, so we could try to hike to the waterfall.

 This is not the waterfall. It is just the river at the first bridge.

 This is taken from the same spot as the one above, but of the other direction. The house you can see is mom and dad's.

 Following a trail. It was the end of May, but still quite chilly, hence, the jackets.

 Rocks! That must mean we should sit down and take a picture. Actually, Lee, Andrew, and Laura were ahead enough that this is where they waited for us to catch up.

 We took a picture of the kids, so the kids took a picture of us.

 Emma wanted to go back to grandma and grandpa's house. They weren't there when we started our hike, but we could see that they were back now. When we were almost down Emma said that she could smell dinner. Oh, now I know why she wanted to go back. Dinner wasn't really ready, but she was good at helping get everything ready for it.

 The trail turned into big boulders.

 The waterfall is seasonal, winter run off. It is in the top right of the picture.

The camera got put away during the dinner. Why do we do that?
