We got to hike this past week with the sister missionaries from our area and a few good friends to this beautiful waterfall just off of highway 35 in the Mt Hood National Forest. Such a beautiful waterfall and hike. Lincoln is ever the good sport about being in the pack. She wants desperately to walk the whole way and she actually hiked the first 1/2 mile. However, this kid is a bit clumsy and the terrain just got a little hairy. Lots of roots and rocks to navigate, plus we had a short window to get back to town to meet Avery off the bus. What a great hiking buddy Lincoln is turning into.
Kal never ceases to amaze me! This hike was about 4 miles round trip with some steady climbing the first 2 miles. He hike the entire way and I would say that he actually ran 60% of that. He is strong and agile. He has such a good sense of himself and his capabilities. The only complaint I got was that we didn't have enough time to throw a bazillion. . .yes a bazillion rocks into the river.
In these small moments I remember the good.
The Good meaning:
How blessed I am for these beautiful children I get to be with.
How blessed I am to live in THE most beautiful place on earth, IMO!!!
How blessed I am for good health that allows me to do these things with my kids.
How blessed I am to live in a free country where these outings are possible.
How blessed I am for good employment that gives me these opportunities.
How blessed I am with a spouse that encourages such adventures for me and the kids
So Thankful right now!
