This past Sunday afternoon it was only 89 degrees so we packed up and decided to go hike the Tanyard Creek Trail. It is about 0.8 miles so we knew Cole could handle it. Rhonald and I love hiking and although this wasn't a true "hike" it was super fun to be with our kids in nature and watch them learn and enjoy the sights. It is a very cool trail that leads to a waterfall...Cole was thrilled because he had never seen a real waterfall before. They also have markers all over the trail with facts about the wildlife, trees or the area. Cole wanted to read every single marker...there were so many we honestly began shortening them and putting them into "our own words." The waterfall could not have come at a better time...we were thirsty and hungry so we had a little snack and then Cole dove in! He had so much fun playing in the cold water on a hot day! He loved walking around and exploring the things in the water and watching the fish swim by. Lily really enjoyed herself too. She laughed and laughed as she watched Cole splash around with Daddy and she really seemed to enjoy being in a new kind of place. We found out there are several trails like this in our area and now we can't wait to get back out there and try those. This one was especially cool (and shady). We had a great time and will definately go back again this fall!
