Ricketts Glen

Steve decided he was going to take us on a nice, relaxing hike at Ricketts Glen. So, we got in the car and drove for an hour and got out at this beautiful state park. I thought it was going to be a nice leisurely stroll through the woods...HA! It was 7.5 miles of steep cliffs and narrow trails where you could fall up to 95 feet! ;) The boys LOVED it! Not one complaint the entire 5 hours! My favorite comment from both was....Brady: This is the happiest I think I ever was in my entire life; Holden: Mom, this is even better than church! We had so much fun. It was so beautiful, and I think I took too many pictures, but I have posted just a "few" of them below...so enjoy!

We should have known better....
