Been rainin’ a bit more so we’ve been soaking up some waters…

This verse has come to mind:
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
– Isaiah 43:2

One of our favorite hikes so far – Cedar Creek Falls! It requires a permit with limited capacity per day so it was pretty quiet on the trail.

It was also Valentine’s Day… Bromance is in the air, lol.

Made it! The last bit was quite a bit of scrambling so J’s dad stayed behind but well worth the effort.

Fist bump.

Mothers’ loves. :)

And then Daddy decided he wanted to climb further (via a VERY steep slope) to the top of the waterfall…

Who can spot the little dot (from the Little Red Dot, haha)?

Daddy’s view from up top. Apparently it was sketch enough that he had a slight fear for his life… :|

Can you see us below? Next time you’re having a bad day, take a deep breath, zoom out and realize how small we really are… whatever we’re going through is a passing moment.

More of what Daddy saw and what we missed out on…

And we waited quite a while for him to get back to the base of the falls.

Just chattin’ by mountains majesty… :)

First time finding a pair of underwear on the trail…

The boys got a real kick out of those dropped drawers!

Ladies and gents, no, that background is not a fake backdrop. ;-)

Got back right around sunset… Driving back with the waning sun on the mountains was perfection.

Another new to us beach area… mossy rocks and glorious light. :)

How many shades of beautiful are here? :))

Footprints in the {swirly, wirly} sand.

Would ya live here?

Canyon hike to a smaller falls.

Dream team creek crossing! (But uh, leaving Mommy to fend for herself). :P
