Silvercreek Falls




A while back we went and hiked 2 miles at Silvercreek Falls, it was a beautiful day. Our goal this summer is to hike 50 miles combined with all the kids, it will be hard but extremely rewarding as well.

The kids had a great time, seeing the falls, finding bugs, throwing rocks and sticks down into the water way below. If you are wondering yes that is a harness Scott made for Talmadge the morning we left. He knew how stressed I am with that child and to make things more enjoyable for me, he made that leash. I'm glad he did the first chain link fence we came to of course he started to climb it with rocks and water 150 feet down, he just me so nervous.

Each of them also carried all their water the whole way, Scott made them a rope to carry it on their shoulders.





Cannon did great the whole time, not a even a peep out of him, when we stopped for lunch he stayed in his pack, and eventually fell asleep at the end of the hike.



We are really looking forward to some fun hikes this summer, any suggestions please let us know.

What a great goal! And I don't blame you for wanting Talmadge tied to you. You got him home in one piece, so it must have worked!
