The Final Days

Our last full day consisted of hiking and hanging and a little bit of star gazing. There was a trail very close to our campsite that was called something like Weeping Falls. That isn't the exact name, but it was a trail to a small waterfall, at least I guess that is what you would call it. The trail was pretty easy and relatively short. But, full of wonderful nature.

It is hard to see, but the water is falling down in between the two trees in the middle of the picture. The roots of the tree, in the back, are exposed in the left hand corner of the picture. And the water runs down right next to them.

We were able to hike down into the "ravine" and get a close look at the "falls." It was beautiful.

There was a bridge over the "ravine" and we were able to take another group picture.

We rested and relaxed the rest of the day. Just hanging around the campsites, watching the kids play. They would break up into little groups. And then break up into other little groups.

The last night we had a plan to lay on the green area and watch the stars. Hubby had brought our telescope and my friend had a really cool app on her phone that when you pointed it to the sky, it would show you what stars you were looking at. The kids would lay on the ground for a little and look up. The darker it grew, more and brighter stars would appear. It was awesome. So peaceful.

The next day we took our time packing up. The little girls, EG and her best friend MG, played in the water to keep them in one place and out of trouble. It truly was a sight to see. When they are camping, they are definitely not girlie girls. Every day EG was covered, from head to toe, in dirt.

I just love the memories we are making with family and friends . . .
