Rocky Mouth Falls

hikers: Dad (grandpa), Mom (Nana), Marisa and Lydia, Landon, Jacob

2 more days until Landon's big day!!!  Annie wasn't available tonight so those of us at home took this little opportunity for some family bonding time and a quick hike to Rocky Mouth Falls.  We knew he would rather be with her but he was so nice to spend time with us.

This photo is blurry but that's because Landon was running, with Lydia in his arms, up the steps from the parking lot.  She thought that was fun!

We arrived at the trail head, not the parking lot, but the trail head at 8:30 pm. 

 Notice the hours on the sign.

This was a perfect hike for Lydia.  It was the first hike she ever went on with us, last summer when she was 6 months old.  She's a lot bigger now and wanted to walk, but we carried her when she would let us.  

It was a good time for a hike because there was only one small group of people there.  It was dark on the way down but we could see the lights of the city from the falls.

We arrived back at the trail head at 8:55!  

Last stop was arctic circle to complete our evening.  Lydia's first courtesy cone!
