A bit of background:
When Char & I were dating, we went out to a place called "big falls, little falls" but unfortunately as we were crossing the creek one of the fifteen times, his truck sucked in water in the intake thingy & it stalled & eventually died. So we were stuck in the middle of the creek with no cell phone reception and forced to wade back through the 7 creek crossings we had already crossed to find help. Long story short, it was on that walk I told Char I loved him for the first time, met my future brother-in-law for the first time (he came & rescued us) & really had a great day :) Some weeks later, Char brought me back out (successfully this time) & proposed to me over a picnic lunch overlooking the "big falls".
Life got busy, we've had a couple a kids, and we haven't been out there since- until this weekend :) As we crossed "creek crossing #7", we had a moment of silence, stillness, & a picture before heading on to our destination.
That sun was intense! And the hike was, well, it whooped me. Sad to say, I'm not in the shape I used to be. Plus Zeke only walked for a few seconds & then he piggy-backed on me the rest of the way.
We saw many deer, lizards, hummingbirds, dragonflies, & butterflies along the way (this was the only photogenic one)
and we were so relieved to walk in the creek when we got back to the car! It felt sooooo good!

I love this pose! He was having a grand ol' time!

THIS SURE IS A SPECIAL PHOTO OF ZEKE!!! WISH WE WERE THERE, TOO!!!! MUCH LOVE, MOM AND DAD~
I just love little boys in bucket hats- you've got a couple of cuties there. I'm glad you all didn't get stuck in the creek this time around- can you imagine with two little ones on your hands, yikes! I shudder at the thought!
