Thunder bird Falls

A few weeks ago we went on a fun little hike to Thunder bird Falls. It was beautiful fall weather, which has since come and gone. The way the sun hit the golden leaves made them illuminate above us. It was just gorgeous! This hike is only a few miles from where we live and this is the first time we had done it. We should have been doing this weekly.

Zanna was having the time of her life frolicking about in the leaves.

Isn't this scenery just beautiful. I love this picture of the kids with their daddy.

The trees here do not turn red and orange, only yellow. But lost of the shrubs turn red. The ground was so vibrant and colorful.

My happy little hiker! Zanna learned what tree roots were on this hike. She also like howling like a wolf and pretending Jathan was a monster and running away from him. Maybe this was just his ploy to get her to keep moving.

When we got to the falls Troop rested his head on Jathans and laid it there relaxing for a few minutes. It was really sweet!

The Falls were just beautiful. There was another trail we could take to go down to the river. But we thought it a good idea not to go down there with the little ones.

I love all the golden leaves at the top of the photo. They were glowing.

Having a little snack and glaring at Jathan. I am not sure why... he was probably making a face at me. Always egging me on :)

Troop was really excited to get out of the carrier and walk his restless legs.

Zanna did a really good hiking all by herself. On the way back she was running as fast as she could. She liked getting really far ahead of us. As she ran up the hill and around the corner out of sight I got a little panicky... thinking... hello this is bear country. So I took off in a dead sprint after her :)
