Mandy and I took our kids to hike the Kanarraville Falls today. This is an amazing hike that is only 20 minutes from home. The first time I discovered it, I was astonished at how beautiful it was. I have hiked it several times, but not since I have had children. When we first started hiking, I underestimated the skill level needed to accomplish the hike. I was a little nervous about our little ones making it the whole way, but they did great! They had so much fun!
The start of the hike:
Rock slide-weeeee!!!
Taking a break from the pack. By the way, did I mention I got the backpack for $10 on Craigslist?!?! Best deal ever!
Starting to get into the water. It wasn't the best idea to let Makenzie wear flip-flops. We almost lost her shoes in the water like ten times!

I had to capture this. Jordan is holding his shorts up so they don't get wet! The water was ankle deep.
Gavin loved walking in the water too! 

We started getting into some slot canyons.... beautiful!

A ladder to go up the waterfall. We successfully made it up there with all four kids!

I love hiking with my kids. I need to do it more often. The only thing that would have made this day better was to have Tyler with us. We miss you. He is in Hawaii for 2 more weeks. I am Hawaii bound on Tuesday to see him!

Super mom, seriously! I can't imagine trying to take three little ones hiking...what great views, though!
This makes me miss Cedar so badly. We used to do this hike all the time. You are pretty brave to take all three kids hiking. That's totally something I would do :)Jay told me about Tyler doing a rotation in Hawaii and you get to go be with him. I think we should have joined the army!! :) Have so much fun and It was really fun to read and look at your blog!
