Yes, I wanted to bring my 2 oldest kids down to see the glorious wonders that existed right near their backyards.
Yes, there was fussing...(only of the female form).
Yes, we took them down to Mooney Falls.
Yes they LOVED the beautiful shangri-la that we discovered down there.
Yes I got to walk with the girls while Matt and Indy and Bart and Sam cruised on speedily ahead.
Yes, I drained my camera battery and phone on the way down by distracting the girls with music and memorizing the rap the "Brokenhearted". Yes, we can all sing it now along with a LOT of other campfire songs (that I looked up on my phone while walking....I was desperate and unprepared in the entertainment category).
YES:
-we ALL slept in hammocks
-we ate really good food
-the cafe food is BAD (and yes I opted to pass on the cafe and wait to eat my wraps from home :)
-we came up with a "Strawberry Shortcake" name for everyone
-the hike is exhausting
-we planned poorly and had a mildly disastrous exit hike out
-stopping at A&W on the way home makes everything better
-we will go back again...but not for awhile!

| All smiles bright and early!! - about 5 minutes after leaving... |
 |
| Smile....fading.... |

| And smiles GONE. This was where I desperately began googling every campfire song I could think of...it saved us...well kinda... |

ooh, I can't WAIT until my kids are old enough to do this! I have such good memories of doing it with my dad and Grandpa! Although I am 100% sure I did more than my share of whining and crying and we also had a disasterous hike out (ran out of water, the worst!) Maybe the all boys thing will suit me well when it comes to things like this.
