Today we decided that it was going to be too pretty to do the usual Sunday afternoon chores like grocery shopping and such. So instead we loaded up the van and headed into the mountains. We decided to hike the moderate 3 mile hike (1.5 straight up and 1.5 straight down) to Grotto Falls. It was a beautiful hike and a beautiful water fall. We even enjoyed the drive around Trillium Gap.
The boys did well for the most part. Davis got a little chilly (mom and dad didn't dress him for the 15-20 degrees cooler weather up near the falls). Andrew hiked like a champ on the way up and then got a little tired on the fast paced hike down. We stopped only once for a quick drink and snack and a few quick pictures, and yet it still took us just about an hour to get to the falls and then just under 30 minutes to get back down!
