weekends away

the weekend before last.. we had naomi & paul.. as well as the nelms' family down to the lake.. we had a really good time regardless of the crappy weather..

since it was a little too cool to go swimming saturday morning (as well as threatening to rain) we went over to hike around swallow falls state park.. one of my favorite places in the world..

this is muddy creek falls.. the first one you see on the trail.. and so why they call it swallow falls park? beats me..

this is swallow falls..

and this is trolliver falls..

if you can't tell.. they're standing right on the edge of muddy creek falls (the big one at the top).. literally.. RIGHT on the edge.. love the reflection off the puddle tho' :)

my dad.. mum.. and baby sister..

hehe i think this is why we all love my dad so much.. because when we were little he did crazy things with us to thrill and scare us to death.. which always ended in us clinging to him and laughing :)

hehe they're so cute :)

naomi & paul hiked way up ahead of us and sat at the top of swallow falls for a while.. mwaha i caught them :)

understand why its one of my favorite places to go yet?

the "under 30" crowd..

the "over 30" crowd.. LOL

yeah.. basically she's adorable :)

sunday it did clear up enough for us to take a nice boat ride down to the dam and back..

this is the inlet we live on.. i couldn't believe how huge the clouds were and how blue the sky was that day.. made me glad to be alive..
