Holy Jim Falls Trail

Memorial Day we got a couple families together and went for a hike. I did say 'we'...yep, Jeffer man-ed up and went for a hike. I found this hike on the internet, and because it was a short one, to a waterfall, and because it had the word 'holy' in it, I told Jeff that I wanted to do it for my birthday. (perhaps the only way I can get him to do anything even close to hiking). We had to trek up the "gnarliest dirt road" (as Amber called it) to get to the trailhead. It was a 2.8 mile round-trip hike that ended with a cute little waterfall. Perfect length for a bunch of little kids, and very pretty. We saw stink bugs, butterflies and the coolest natural tunnel you have ever seen. We loved doing it with our friends the Baltzers and the Waldrons. Ivy and I at the trailhead... Daddy and Max

We are a hap-py fam-i-ly

Holy Jim Falls

Here's the group we went with. Yes, I know it's blurry, but I was banned from posting any of the other group ones. The crazy guy that took this one was a self-proclaimed photographer, yet this was the best one of the group...and it took him about 5 minutes to snap a quick picture...yes...at least we know who went with us! From left to right:

Saxon, Tad, Dane, Micah and Amber Baltzer, Max, Ivy, Autie, Jeff Mousser and Brandon, Hudson and Kim Waldron.

Without fail, every time we passed another group, we were called the baby brigade, or the baby patrol because there were so many kids. Tad was a trooper and carried two! We can't wait for Hike number two!!! I'm looking!--and Jeff is hiding! hee hee
