Summer Hike up White Oak Canyon

Summer presented one of its most beautiful days on a sunny Saturday when we had no plans. The humidity was low, the temperature was a comfortable 75, and we decided a family hike was the perfect way to spend such a lovely Saturday. 

The girls are big enough to really enjoy this hike. About two miles of easy to moderate hiking takes you to some lower falls that present a wonderful place for playing and even doing some sliding down the falls. Alex was still carried in the backpack most of the way, but he enjoyed playing in the water when we got there. He's not one that likes to be left behind by his big sisters. 

The girls had a lot of fun exploring and swimming in the pool at the lower falls. 

We got some great video of all the kids sliding down the falls (yes, even Alex). I'm telling you. My kids are fearless. 

And Shaun cliff jumped off some of the falls above. I wonder where my kids get their fearlessness from. 

It was probably one of our favorite days of the summer. We came home and played outside until after dark. 

I hope we get to do it again soon!
