Hike

After cleaning up camp we drove about 15 minutes to the EL AL hike. It was nice weather and we were really comfortable hiking.

All of the kids had to have a walking stick so Chris broke off one for everyone. Tristan decided to share Chris'.

Just behind Chris is the top of the first waterfall, the pond is the the dark part in the lower right of the picture.

We have climbed down now and are standing in front of the waterfall.

 Tristan fell asleep, this is how I kept his head from bobbing. LOL

There are actually 2 waterfalls on this hike, usually people leave one car at the beginning and then one at the end. We couldn't do that so we only made it to the first waterfall before deciding to turn around and head back. As luck would have it just after we turned to head back we were rained on, poured on. It only lasted for about 5 minutes but it was enough to make us wet and the ground muddy, so our walk back was messy. Our kids were troopers and kept a good attitude. When we got to the car we stripped the kids down to there undies and put the muddy clothes and shoes in bags. 

What an adventure!
