Our Hike to Stuart Falls

 Saturday was the perfect day to spend with the family hiking to Stuart Falls. I haven't done this hike in a while so it was fun to do it again with the kids. They were awesome! We were so proud of Nate and Lucy! Lu did the whole thing on her own, and Nate made it the entire way in and most of the way out! 
 One of the kids was talking about how much they loved the trees and mountains on our hike. Nate said he did too and then proceeded to hug the next batch of trees. He also loved climbing up every rock and tree root and the jumping back to the trail. On one of his jumps he tumbled a little. Lucy was behind him and out of no where says, "That's like a tenth of a deduction Nate." Can you tell we've been watching the Olympics?
The water was seriously SO cold. It felt great to get wet after our hike. The kids had a blast playing in the water and cracking Kung fu Panda jokes. :)
Everyone on the trail kept telling Lucy she was doing so good and would point out that her shirt said Just do it. She would correct everyone and say, "it says Just Keep Going!" Lucy, You make us laugh. We did keep telling her to just keep going, and she did. Way to go girl!
Such a fun day! I am so glad we got to spend it together!
