This has become a family tradition for us. We go to this park and play in the water. I had not posted the pictures for our 2006 trip to the falls, because I was a little swamped with Les's New York trip and our family National Park vacation. As of tonight, I went back and created a post for that adventure (
May 2006). You can also see things from
May 2005.

This year our friends the Agarwal Family and "Commander Brad" joined us. It was more fun that way, and it was helpful to have more adults as helpers for our little ones too! Since there wasn't as much snow in the mountains this past winter, there wasn't as much water as there has been in past years, but the upshot of that is that the water wasn't freezing either! (It was still cold, but a refreshing cold, not "so-cold-you-can't-feel-your-toes" cold!)
Rachel was happy sitting on the shore playing with her bucket & shovel. After she fell face-first into the water, she wanted nothing more to do with it!
Evan, Alyssa, Elijah & Rebekah had a blast swimming around, chasing frogs & water striders.
Little Princess has to stay clean!
Warrior Boy imagines his foes & creates mock battles on the battlefield of his mind.
Joanna is pointing at a raven that we were watching. It was getting dive-bombed by 2 crows--it was really amazing to watch, but of course they took off before we could get their photo!
We had a wonderful time, and I am so grateful for good friends, kids who are good sports, a husband who supports my adventuresome ways, and the Lord who makes it all possible!
Leslie, keeping the "Adventure" in Adams Family Adventures!
