Red Cliffs

So on Saturday I wanted to do one last fun day with my family.  My dad was excited cause he wanted to take his 12 passenger van for a spin.  My sister Daniela, her 4 kids, my parents, my 2 boys, and I loaded up and went to Red Cliffs (State Park?) for the day.  I LOVE that place.  It could only have been better if I had thought about wearing swim suits and if Brian had come, and if my other sister had been there....okay I guess it wasn't "perfect" but we did have a good time at one of my favorite places back home.

 The ride

 It's a good thing Levi is tiny or I would have been super worn out by the end!
 Awesome tree cave
 Can you tell he likes to "CHEESE"

 The boys leading the pack
 Pit stop



 Ok hard to tell from this picture but it is a mommy frog carrying her baby on her back! I tried to get a better view but she kept on hopping away.  *....so funny story....after Brian looked at our blog and saw this picture he Googled mating frogs...turns out it's not a mommy and her baby...what makes it especially hilarious is I took a similar picture with grasshoppers probably 5 years ago and showed Brian how cute the grasshoppers were and then he noticed what I hadn't!*


 Lucas stripped down the second he saw the pools


 The view going up, from top to bottom there is the lower pool, small waterfall, upper pool, large waterfall (people slide down these waterfalls), and then there is the stream at the top and more hiking that I have never been through.
 Vovo teaching the boys how to skip rocks
 Lucas kicked his cousin off this rock so he could say "CHEESE" and get his picture taken!


Great way to end a great trip!  Thanks to everyone who took the time to come and visit us :) I love that we have so many great friends, and that so many of my friends I have had since I was 7 years old and the literally the day we moved to Panorama Parkway and a little 4 year old brunette girl came over and made me play with her!
