Summer hiking adventure

Last week we took the kids hiking at Tanyard Creek in Bella Vista. It is a great hiking spot for kids with a waterfall, easy hiking, and signs up everywhere to tell you what kind of tree or other interesting thing you are looking at. In case you have been in a hole (which would not be so bad), it has been a record breaking summer, in terms of heat. We had to go at 8 in the morning so we were done before we melted. This is actually not hard for our family because the boys get up before seven EVERYDAY!


We splashed around at a creek. The boys looked for crawdads and threw rocks.









We finally found the waterfall. With all of the heat and no rain I was pleasantly surprised that it still had a lot of water running!





The last part was a big downhill that even the most tired boy ran down. It was very sunny on this part so it was perfect to be done and headed to McDonalds for a fruit smoothie!
