Jump Creek

on Memorial Day the whole family got together and we were going to go for a picnic and jump creek, but it was a rainy day. So we opted to have the picnic in the house and then we drove out to hike Jump Creek. I don't think I had ever been there before and some of my sisters haven't been there so it was a lot of fun. With the little kiddos with us it made us adults go exploring more into the caves and tunnels. It wasn't as long as I thought, but we still had a ton of laughs and exercise. Amanda and Kole watching safely below. She's due any day now so we thought the hike and climbing rocks would put her in labor. It didn't!

We some how got all the little kids out on this boulder to take there picture. But getting them back safely was more of a challenge. I went out to get Mads and almost fell off a rock, so I handed her to dad and he ending of falling into the water! It was super funny and it was only just over his ankle deep at that point.


it was a beautiful hike and the fall isn't some huge waterfall, but it was still really nice to sit and admire it.



We were all very cautious of poison ivy, even though none of us were sure what it really looked like. So Mads, being the dare devil she is, was carried lots of the way to make sure she didn't touch anything or jump off a rock. And plus she thought she needed to be carried the whole time. :) She loves here Joshy!
