Grotto Falls

Last week our family went on a little hike up to Grotto Falls. We picked up some pizza on the way up. It really was a very mild hike on a well kept trail only about a mile in. Log bridges go over the small stream a couple times and all the kids all did great, meaning no one fell in, on the way up anyway, (Jacob got his shoes wet on the way back down.) Khora kept calling it the rain forest, because it was raining while we walked up the trail. The fall itself was much more impressive that I had been expecting. Not much wiggle room once you get up there in the mouth and the kids can't help but play in the water just a little bit, even Bonnie let me dab her toes in it. One the way down Khora was doing a potty dance and did a pretty good speed walk back to the van. We left our water bottles at the falls, so Dennis and the boys raced back up to get them, it only took about 5 minutes.
