We took a one night camping trip (if you call staying in a rustic cabin camping, which I do). We started the trip by hiking around the South Falls. There are 10 different waterfalls in this State Park. Here we are at the top of the falls.
There was a bench along the hike down to the bottom of the falls, I wanted a picture of the kids, but they were so interested in the squirrel behind the bench, they wouldn't look at the camera.
Now we are halfway down.
At this point you go back behind the falls. I know it's a terrible picture, you can't see the kids, but I thought it would give you an idea of what it's like behind the falls. There was a slight breeze which was blowing the water in our direction so we were getting a little misted on.
Here is Carson on the way back up the trail, which is one big loop that goes down to the pool at the bottom and then back up.
Resting on the way back up.
After hiking we checked into our camp sight, or cabin, same thing. Then we explored the trails, which are everywhere. We found this covered bridge.
Here is our home-sweet-home cabin. It doesn't have a bathroom, or water, so we were definately camping.
A look inside the front room. That futon pulls out into a bed, where Lance and I slept.
The back room, with the bunk beds and another double bed that you can't see.
The front door. Yes, I know there was a fridge and microwave, but as of June 1st they will no longer have those (fire safety). We were lucky it was still May!
Sydney liked roasting leaves over the fire.
I was pretty sure our food was well put away, but in the morning we found 3 punctured capri suns on the front porch,
and the bread bag had been torn open, with the bread half eaten. Funny thing, all our food was in a big rubbermade container with the lid on! Those sneeky animals! The kids thought it was hilarious.

There were lot of trails leading to the creek. We love exploring them and playing by the water.
Carson likes to make this face.
Yea for camping!
We found a spot where there's a bunch of logs that cross the river. I took Sydney across it.
Going across the log. Sydney was brave!
Then of course, Tyson wanted to cross too, so Lance helped him.
The trails and bridges were neverending. I wish we could've stayed longer to check them all out!
