This Week's Adventure













I made a goal to try & do one outdoor adventure each week with my kids this spring/summer. We all love to be outside & need to take advantage of the beautiful place we live in a little more.

On Friday, I took the kids on a hike we had never been on before. It's called Battle Creek Falls. I didn't even know these amazing waterfalls were so close to me. It was a short hike (about a mile & a half I think). We brought along a picnic lunch- which the kids think is just SO much fun! About half way up the hike there was a little tiny resevoir that that we ate by. The kids had fun throwing and collecting rocks. The waterfalls were so pretty. You can go right under it. I think on a hot summer day we'll have to do it again & go in the water!

I am inpressed by my kids hiking skills. Even Elsie & her little legs- I only had to carry her a little bit. When we got back to the car they were asking when we were going to hike again.
Stay tuned for more exciting adventures!

That's awesome, what adventurers, and I love how hiking gets the kids tired and they usually sleep easier:)
