Kilgore Falls

After sitting at Toyota for 2 hours this morning to get the oil changed and the tired rotated, we decided we deserved a treat. Our friends, Miss Krissy and her boys, were free so we all piled in a van and headed to Kilgore Falls. It was perfect! Last week was insufferably hot (pool like bath water), but today was in the 80s with very little humidity. The falls were packed with people.

Our water shoes we bought for Big Kahuna's came in handy with the rocky creek bed. The kids had a ball playing in the waterfall. To begin with, no one would go near it, but we promised Rita's to everyone who went into the falls...and everyone EARNED their Rita's several times :).

It took Caden a little while to build up his courage to go near the falls. Once he found a spot on the rocks where it wasn't as deep, he was in waterfall heaven.

Jaelyn caught a dragon fly.

Tyler has made a friend in Allie. She was his little shadow and he didn't mind at all. It was cute.

After the falls, we made our stop at Rita's as promised! It was a picture perfect afternoon!
