Engagement Day- April 25, 2005
This past weekend we left the city and headed out to the country to visit the Grandparents and Aunt Heather and to enjoy some gorgeous scenary. Also, Sunday, April 25th of this year was the 5 year anniversary of when we got engaged! John proposed to me at Fall Creek Falls that is just a 20 minute drive away from his parents and a 1 mile BEAUTIFUL hike to a gorgeous waterfall. It is seriously so pretty and a relatively easy hike, so we decided it would be fun to take the boys back up to it to celebrate 5 wonderful years!
Saturday morning we woke up to rain, but we decided to bring our rain coats and chance it anyways since most of the trail is covered with trees. It rained the whole car ride over to the trail head until about the last 2 miles.... that is when the clouds broke and the sun came shinning through! And it lasted through the whole hike! It was perfect! Jackson hiked the whole way there and back without a single complaint! In fact, he LOVED it and wanted to be in the front the whole time and kept saying, "Follow me guys!" Even Baron walked some of the way, though most of the time John carried him in the backpack.
After our hike we came back and sat in the hot tub to warm up and relax, took some naps and then headed down to the river that is right by the Grahams place and did some last minute fishing before the sun went down! Jackson had a really fun time just casting and reeling his line back in over and over. Bear pretty much threw rocks into the river and chased Maggie (the Graham's dog) the whole time. It was such a relaxing and peaceful day spent together. We LOVED it! Plus, this is the most beautiful time in Glide after lots of rain from the winter. Everything is SO green! Just see for yourself in these pictures.... we got A LOT of good ones!
John was trying to teach Jackson how to count the rings on the tree to tell how old it is...
This is why we love to get away to Glide.... have you ever seen anything prettier within the States??
