Camping -- Fall Creek Falls

The last weekend in October we went camping at Fall Creek Falls State Park. What a beautiful place! We hadn't been there in a very long time, and we had a fabulous time. One thing we won't forget for a long time, though--it was FREEZING at night, literally. And we slept in a tent. Thankfully, we came prepared with a small space heater, which, along with all of us sleeping in the same tent, kept us surprisingly snug. Getting out of the tent in the morning, though was a little...COLD.

Some of us had a hard time dealing with the cold at first...



And Elijah about an hour later!

Of course we had to bring the bikes, which the boys spent A LOT of time on!

We did a lot of hiking. Here we are on our way to the bottom of Fall Creek Falls.

One of our camping traditions is to make campfire meals over the fire. They smell delicious and taste yummy after a day full of activities.

The swinging bridge photo of the boys. They loved it!


We found this really cool trail called the cable trail. There was a cable that you could hold onto as you climbed (almost repelled) down a very steep cliff. Elijah and Isaac were very brave and Jason helped Joshua most of the time, as I tried to snap pictures when I could get a firm place to stand.


We made it!!

Joshua too!!

We had a very good time. Proof of a busy, fun 3 days...
