Henline Falls Hike

We enjoyed a lovely hike to Henline Falls and the old abandoned mine located near the falls

Beautiful foxgloves lined the hike.. as well as ripe huckleberries of course!

Woodpecker holes




So fun to cool off in the pool once we arrived at the falls






Mandy & Gracie decide to climb up the face of the rock cliff to check out the abandoned mine



Mama climbed up too!
Daddy's Turn!

Ash too! It was wet and smelly and the tunnel was closed off... but hey, at least we can say we went, we climbed, we saw! Time to head home!

It was such perfect weather for a fun family hike. We are hoping to get in a few more throughout the summer, time & Lord willing!

Birthday Fun with the Rubins!!!



Daddy brings the birthday cake to Laura!!! Laura really wanted to have her party early so that she could have her little Rubin friends there for her special day! We had already set up a weekend in early July so we agreed to it. What a blessed time we had with our special friends. We will never forget the precious memories we made with them when they came (all of them!) to visit us in Belize!!!

Lovely!

Our little birthday Princess!!
