Earlier this summer, I decided to take the kids to Helen Hunt Falls. I wanted to get out of the house and go do something... so, we all loaded up in the car, stopped by McDonald's for our picnic lunch (I HATE packing sack lunches! :)) and headed for the falls. I really didn't intend to take them to the top... (or I would have put C in something other than Crocs...) - but we had a great time... and I was a very brave Mommy attempting this hike with all four of my little ones by myself. (Keith was at work.) Now... it took us about 2 hours to complete a 1/3 mile hike in each direction... mostly because we had to stop about every two to three steps to dump out the rocks from C's shoes... but, none the less, we had a great time, got to yell, "We Did It!" when we got to the top and got to enjoy some of God's beautiful creation. Next time, I'll put real shoes on each of them!
Everyone celebrating that we reached the top!!!

Rest break... and a very sweet smile.
