Tuesday was another day of hiking. We drove to the DuPont State Forest to see three waterfalls. It was about a 45 minute drive through the countryside and was really beautiful. We stopped at the visitor center, another blow out for Noah, but at least we had a change of clothes! Then, we hiked. First, we went to High Falls - it was really pretty and I'm amazed how many kids were playing in each of the falls! We didn't let the kids play until the very end. Grandma and Grandpa packed lots of snacks, so we could motivate the boys (more or less) with snacks of cookies and chips. Seth still had a lot of sour faces, but so it goes with little boys. We hiked down to the bottom of High Falls, but honestly, the view was better from the overlook. Boys liked crawling on the rocks and Noah loved looking for fish.
We made the hike up to Triple Falls. You get off the trail and take a whole bunch of steps to the second of the three falls. It was really pretty, but you are right there on the rocks and it is a little nerve racking because I can just imagine the kids getting too close and tumbling down the next waterfall. Amazing how crazy people are.
We walked back to the car, got our lunch, and then drove to Hooker Falls. The boys were cranky and didn't want to go, but changed their mind and went. We promised Logan that he could wade in this falls - it was small and a natural water hole, but the rocks are slippery and we saw some people make some hard falls. But Logan got in and enjoyed the cold water with Katsu. Noah got in for a while, too. It was really lovely hiking and pretty waterfalls. Loved it.
