Last week was Spring Break for my crew. We didn't take a trip or anything, and were disappointed that we only had one decent weather day. On our one good day, the boys and I decided we would head up to
Stumphouse Tunnel and Isaqueena Falls to do some "adventuring". As a Mom, I am trying to remember that boys like adventures and plan activities that fit that bill without causing injury or bleeding (or at least much of it).

At this point, I don't think they were sure if my idea of adventure was the same as theirs, but they did know we had to have flashlights for this one!

Heading in! Of course, DS#2 (Mr. throw caution to the wind) is leading the way.

Now they are definitely glad we brought the flashlights!

I earned some brownie points by letting the boys climb some rocks!

DS#1 took a shot of me and DS#2 at the bottom of the falls.
I felt pretty good after this adventure because DS#1 said, as were were leaving, that this was "way more fun that going away for Spring Break!" HooAHHH!
Wow, neat photos!! What a cool outing for you guys. :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool! That sounds like a very fun adventure!
