We were invited to go to Bridal Veil Falls for a picnic today with the Sharps. We have never been, so we thought it would be a great day to check it out with our awesome friends.
Boy have we sure missed these guys! It is so nice to be able to share special occasions with them again.
We enjoyed a wonderful picnic dinner together.
Played on the playground a bit
And to top it off, the Sharp’s brought fixings for s’mores.
They were perfectly delicious! After all the food was put away, we headed to the falls.
They were very busy, but totally beautiful.
The views from every angle were stunning! Mike was trying to get aerial shots, but he accidentally deleted his drone’s app. Definitely wouldn’t fly his drone without a visual. Oh well, maybe next time.
I know the green won’t last forever, as we Do live in a desert. But for now, it is wonderful.
Emmy hiked up the falls a bit with William and Natalie. I love how she wanted her picture taken too.
William and Natalie hiked up as far as they could (safely) to the base of the lower falls. William twisted his ankle coming back down though. I hope his foot will be okay.
Sam and I are trying to get better at taking pictures of us, and not just the kids. I have to admit, it IS easier than taking pictures of the kids.
All we wanted was a good family pic. We got “Crooked Face” instead! We’ll be forever grateful for Uncle Eric teaching Lucy this one!
Alex found some large leaves along the path back to the car. He looked like the leaf men from Epic.
Lucy wouldn’t quit picking every dandelion she saw. It was making me nervous because she kept sticking her hands and all random parts of the woods. I was terrified for poison ivy, snakes, or spiders. Finally when she grabbed one in a spider’s web, she quit. She was super sweet with them though, and had to share them.
She and Emmy have become quite the little buddies. Lucy had to make sure she left with one too. What a great way to spend this beautiful Mother’s Day!
