Hiking - Twin Falls

The day after Adam and I returned from Idaho, Scott stayed home from work and we decided to go someplace fun. Scott and I have done this hike several times before Adam was born. We figured the hike was simple enough that Adam could do it without help. And - it was something I could do without too much strain as well! 7 months pregnant and hiking doesn't always seem like it goes together, but I think I did pretty good. I had to take a couple of breaks just to catch my breath (I feel like my lung capacity has been cut in half most of the time!!), but it wasn't too bad!
We didn't end up hiking up to the top of the falls, but we did head down to the river and Scott got this great picture of the lower falls. Here is a picture of the family at a rest stop.
Scott and Adam did some boulder hopping down at the river. Adam was in heaven! He had a great time!
Here they are on the other side of the river from me. Scott had to help him, but Adam made it all the way over and back without falling into the very swift moving water. I'll admit it was a little nerve wracking watching - but they made it safe and sound! Can you find them in the picture??
We spent a couple of hours just playing around down by the water before we headed back up and out. Here's a picture of Adam and I at a little bridge on the way out.
It was a great way to spend the day as a family. I love living in such a beautiful area of the country!

Man it looks like you had a great time at your reunion, not to mention a fun hike at the falls. I went on a hike when I was 8 months pregnant and it really is surprising how less well your lungs seem to work for you! Good job, it really is a feat!

you guys should come and visit us! We can take you to the same waterfall we made Sarah do when she was 8 months pregnant!

That comment was really from Laura not Mike...

Hehehe...I thought, "whoa, MIKE made a comment?!" Tammy I was wondering if you made your baby ticker countdown stop counting down and start counting how many days you've been pregnant or if it just did it on its own??

I have no idea how that baby counter thing works. It seems to randomly switch between days to go and days gone by. I like the days to go counter better.
And Laura, posing as Mike - we would love to come do that hike. Unfortunately, my doctor won't let me fly any more. Maybe next pregnancy... :)
