Having a Fun Day With Family at Shellburg Falls

Several of our kids gathered with us and hiked to Shellburg Falls for the day. Anne and Matt came with their dog, Tillie. Paul brought his girlfriend, Kayla. Megan and Andy came with Jesse and discovered that a bike cart is a great way to go on a long hike with a 2 year old.

Jesse had it made. He just sat in the back, took in the scenery, and played with sticks!

The wild irises were gorgeous...especially since they were covered with droplets of water.




























When we hit the forest trail, Jesse held his own.
Yum...a salmonberry!












The mosses are one of my favorite things to photograph.

Everything was fresh from the earlier rain.

I miss hiking in all that beauty. It sure looks like your family enjoyed it. You are right about the moss. It is so luxurious.
