Kanarraville Falls

Cody took us on a hike to Kanarraville Falls.  We didn't really know what we were getting ourselves into, it ended up being a 4 hour hike!  With three kids and one that had to be carried the whole way, it was quite the adventure.  You walk through the river most of the time, climb a rickety "ladder", and finally get to a natural rock water slide. 

 Here is the ladder that was missing quite a few stairs. Luckily a very nice stranger helped grab our kids at the top!

 Kash was very nervous at this part.

 

 He did okay until he reached the top and had a meltdown!

 The whole group.

 Here is Ella checking out the slide, not so sure about it.

 Cody demonstrated, and then took Ella on his lap.  Matt took Kash, and then Evie.  That is when Matt threw his back out! We still had to hike all the way back.  Luckily it wasn't as bad as he has hurt it in the past, so we somehow all made it back safely.

 Going down was a lot easier than going up.  Cody carried Evie down and passed her to Matt.

 

 Even this pregnant girl made it down okay.

 I think we will definitely go on another hike, just not too soon.
