King's River Falls

We took some extra time off this Memorial Day weekend and added Friday off so we'd have Thursday night through Monday night to spend with Max. We decided we'd save the family vacation until late June and juse memorial day to just spend time together around the house and catch up on a few things. It was a lot of fun. Below are pictures from our trip to the King's River Falls. They are about an hour very scenic drive east of Fayetteville. We decided a short morning trip would be fun.

We made choochoo sandwhiches for Max from a cookie cutter Mike bought

Mike and Max climbed up a hill for a good picture opp
Max looked so cute following behind his daddy on the trails
We made it! Mike's ".6" mile hike turned into a 2 mile hike with a 6 month pregnant wife and 2 year old son - but we made it! The falls were worth it. They were beautiful and so peaceful with just the sound of the falls.

We sat down right when we got there and had a picnic overlooking the falls as a family
a great picture of the falls
Mike and Max decided to take a dip. The water was cold but they sure looked cute!


Mike told me about how he had gone here 8 years ago with some of his buddies and he jumped off this rock.....he decided to relive his youth and jump again. I was ok with it since it's really not that high and the water was so clear. It was about 11 feet deep and he jumped feet first....boy was that water cold!



There are also several waterfalls that flow into the falls. Mike and Max climbed up for a picture.
not the best picture of me, but Max had so much fun and this picture he was showing us his muscles for making the climb - so funny
