Not too far from our lodge we discovered hiking trails to 5 huge waterfalls. Our favorite became the 265 foot Angel Falls because we could get in the water and swim UNDER the falls! The spray was so powerful it almost hurt, but it was so cool. Lincoln wanted to go first, of course, and Brigham brought his wet suit so he was happy in the cold water! He didn't want to leave! He swam around like it was a swimming pool.
We stopped to eat lunch at this fun place along the trail. There are always ants, spiders, and beetles everywhere and the kids have done so well at just flicking them off their sandwiches, chairs, bowls, books, legs, beds, etc!
Eliza is a champ. She never complains about have to be encased in this plastic rain cover on the backpack on every single hike since it pours every single time!
By the time we arrived at the "parking" lot, the rain had soaked the dirt road into a muddy mess. We prayed that the 2-wheel drive van would work properly and we could make it out of there on the steep hills OK. We did:). There are dirt roads to most of the places we go, so we knew that it could be sketchy. So grateful for the extra heavenly help!
We have had to string up more and more line to hang out our clothes and bags! By now everything is getting mildew because it is constantly drizzling. I love this photo of these Camelbaks though. It has been SO fun to have the kids have their own water and snacks! Best investment!
