Happy Mother’s Day. We spent the morning hiking, then enjoyed lunch and delicious ice cream for dessert. I am a lucky mommy!

After walking a mile we came to the first trail attraction, very cool waterfalls. Alan taught the kids how to drink the cool mountain water.

Wading downstream. The rocks were very slippery and the kids kept falling. I eventually made them come back to the flat area after one particularly scary (though totally harmless) fall that Lex took.

They caught a few water bugs and Eve decided to carry them home, despite everyone's advice to the contrary.

She walked very slowly down the mountain, so we had plenty of time to stop and throw rocks into the ravine.

Lex laughed so hard he fell down and couldn't get up again. I think he was a little hot and tired, like the rest of us!
I love these crazy people who made me a mother. I am a very lucky momma, and a very lucky daughter!
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and your mom and all the other moms out there doing their best with their own crazy families. Happiness is.
