For Labor Day, we went to Donut Falls. It's a pretty sentimental place to me, and Nate and I have gone enough times together and as a family, that it's almost tradition-like :). I'm not sure why it seemed so much shorter and easier this year, but who can argue with that! I was around 6 months pregnant the last time, but anyway. The kids all did great! Even Erika! She walked all the way there herself and then had to be held on the way back down. Noah did the whole hike himself! I was pretty proud of both of them really :).
I miss the old Donut Falls. It's not quite the same without the cave, and the dangerous waterfall dumping on your head, but the kids seem to be okay with it still (they don't remember it the old way). We all crossed the river safely, nothing horrible happened, we didn't even need the bandaids that I accidentally left in the car :). So, pretty good trip for us this time! We sat and ate our little snacks (we brought way too many for how short that hike is), played in the water and with the rocks, and then went back down. It was a very pleasant trip. I need to remember not to do this on Labor Day again though, there were SO MANY people! Although, I'll never forget the perfect parking place we were blessed with :). We had been in a little bit of a hurry since we were trying to get back for a reunion meeting, so the good spot saved us about an hour I would guess.... anyway.... Good times!
