We did a lot of fun stuff last month, and one of those things was hiking to Donut Falls. We used to do this hike all the time when I was a teenager, and all of the sudden the people who owned the land made it private property - liability for injuries or some jazz like that. Anyway, we found out that the trail was open to the public again, and my girls have had very little exposure to REAL mountains and hiking.
It was a lot of fun and Emory was a hoot. As we started hiking up she started singing, "We're hiking Mt. McKinley, we're hiking, we're hiking!" I think she got it from Little Einsteins?
Tessa loves to be outside and just squealed and pointed at everything.
They both wanted to get in the water, but after a touch they realized it was liquid ice - hmmmm?? Emory, of course, obsessed about dirty hands, while Tessa wanted Katie to take her out into the middle of the river.
On the way down, Emory once again entertained us with the names of the animals she heard. She started off with some cute names, for little woodland creatures and then all of the sudden busts out saying, "Oh no!! Look out for Say-Bule, the Flying Sheep!" What a girl!
P.S. She's feeling a 1,000,000% better!
