Hike down to "No Hands" and then to the River

"That moment when you're trying to cross over water and even the bridge has water!"
Originally I had planned to hike to my waterfall. Until I got to the bridge. It was definitely passible. However, with my fear of heights, it just so happened the wind was blowing just right as the Sun reflected on the standing water it made me feel as if everything around me was moving. It made me extremely uncomfortable as I was byself. As I look back, instead of trying to walk on the edge of the bridge I should have taken off my socks and shoes and hiked down the center. 

Down to the River we go for a picnic! 

Today is the day Penelope learned how to throw a rock. This kid can launch a toy all the way across the house. But I'll be damned if she couldn't throw a rock more than 6 inches. Needless to say she was pro status within 15 minutes. 






Had to get a picture of my new ride chillin Mountain side.
