The weather could not have been more perfect... 75 degrees, clear skies, slight breeze. Since our little girl hasn't been feeling so good with her allergic reaction to her medicine, she woke us up early and got us out the door and thank goodness she did. The park was emptying out of the overnighters when we got there and filling up with the latecomers as we were leaving. We could not have asked for more perfect hiking conditions.
Some of you know about the pondering pictures that Jeff and I have always taken (don't remember how that got started) but we were teaching Madison to ponder with us. She didn't quite get it at first...
We had to teach her...not up the nose, just under the nose! She did get it but we're saving that picture for future use!
Madison was a bit smaller in the last picture we took from this location. Our child of no fear wanted to walk the wall on her own and see how far over the edge she could see. She really wanted to get in the water but we were up way to far for that to happen. Boy are we in for a treat as she gets older. We are going to have eyes in all directions!!!
We made our way down to the river side (after many steps down) and it was WAY to muddy for her to put her fingers in the water. So to distract her, we let her climb the rocks near the river. Truthfully, I thinks she was trying to find her own way down to the river and wasn't letting us in on her master plan!
She's doing so good and wants to climb, climb, climb. Our little outdoorsy girl!
