ANOTHER Family Outing to A Waterfall! πŸ˜„

in PhotoFeed β€’ 2 months ago

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well πŸ™ Over the weekend, my family and I all got out to take a trip to a waterfall -- for a third time now! However, this time my daughter-in-law and her family joined us, and we all had a wonderful time πŸ’— I wanted to share some of the highlights from our trip!

This is my daughter-in-law, Emily (the tall one!), and my youngest daughter (the little one!). My husband and I share an age difference of 14 years, so Emily is only 7 years my junior πŸ˜… The sisters share an age difference of 20 years, and I am already a grandma at 31-years-old πŸ˜‚

This is Emily's son, Oliver. My daughters are his aunts, so our youngest daughter is his aunt, yet also the same age as him πŸ˜‚ It's a very unusual family dynamic, but try to keep track! Altogether, the seven of us began to take off...

One of the first treasures that I stumbled upon along the way. This is a picture of extremely neon yellow moss! 😍 I love moss -- the look, and the texture of it, are sublime...

Ferns, still making an appearance at the end of winter! (If you look very closely at the escarpment, you will be able to spot patches of icicles.) I thought the juxtaposition between the winter vibe and spring foliage was amazing.

I saw this rock, which immediately captivated me with its shade of green flora. My main intention was to capture the color, but little did I know that, upon editing it, I saw a face! 😱

(It had an ear and everything! Absolutely incredible...)

(Another cool HOLE-Y rock that was spotted πŸ˜„ They had the appearance of Styrofoam containers)

It only took about 15 minutes to reach, but we had finally arrived at Felker's Falls 😍 I'm very grateful that these natural wonders are easy enough to reach. They are breaktaking to witness in person...

Once we reached the waterfall, we all finally had the opportunity to relax a bit 😌 The kids were very happy, playing with one another and tossing nearby rocks into the stream.

Oliver had completed quite the feat as well: for the entire hike, he held two bananas in his hands πŸ˜‚ Once we were at the waterfall, he happily ate one~

The view from "inside" the waterfall. There was a decent amount of mist and spray attacking me, but it was beautiful to behold.

Oliver and our oldest daughter were having a great time together. They were throwing rocks into the water during these photos

My husband took our oldest, Kiva, over for a closer look. Although she is only 4-years-old, this was probably the tenth hike that she had made to a waterfall -- she is quite the trooper! πŸ’—

(I love this photo of the two of them πŸ₯ΉπŸ’— Our little girl is growing up so fast...)

Before leaving, we had to take some family photos together 😍 My family and I hardly get pictures of all four of us, so to have all seven of us is unheard of! In fact, I believe this is the very first FULL family photo that we have taken together πŸ’—

All in all, it was a beautiful day... It is always such a treat to be able to spend time with my daughter-in-law and her family; it was great being able to see them. And, of course, her little Oliver has been getting so big! 😱 He is pretty much talking a mile a minute now at 2 and 1/2-years-old!
