August is 1/2 way over and is usually a pretty slow month for us. Since the boys don't start school until after Labor Day and our fall is pretty booked, we decided to fill it up with some fun stuff :) Friday we drove up to Fall Creek Falls for the weekend. We stopped by Chatty first to eat at our favorite place (The Terminal) and walk around the Choo Choo hotel. They have a lot of trains that they have turned into shops/diners. The boys loved climbing on and checking out the inside. Then it was off to the mountains to hike, splash, and throw rocks with Derek's family for 2 days!
Sweet brothers!
Checking out some falls when we got there!
The boys started clothed.....lol
Boy life
The next morning hiking the main waterfall. Wasn't as full as we expected with all the rain, but still very pretty. Meritt and the boys were troopers!
Had to go to the very bottom to throw rocks, of course ;)
Seth and Derek checking out the top
So much rock/boulder throwing
Poor Seth was worn out between making "buckets" with Connor and zip lining with Colin! He's definitely a fun uncle!
Belle had fun with her cousin while we were gone (she drove poor Juno crazy)
The kiddos liked the rope bridge, surprisingly. We got to see lots of deer and Colin was hopeful this one would be friendly :) We got pretty close!
Celebrating Doozie's birthday early!
Quick splash for Meritt Sunday morning before we all left for home. Such a happy girl! It was a fun trip with everyone together!
Meanwhile, Cait's crew held down the fort while we were gone and has stayed all week while Josh and his dad redo their floors! The kids have had tons of fun cousin time!
Kendall got to take us on a little tour of her school and her new big girl class!
This monkey boy!
A good night at Cracker Barrel!
We met mom with Belle today after she got groomed for her to keep for us while we're at the beach. We leave in the morning--wahoo!
