Pixley Falls State Park

 We finally had Daddy all to ourselves today, so we headed out on a picnic.

We tried a new spot:  Pixley Falls State Park. 

 After having a flat tire after church, we were very happy to reach our destination.

 Because of the flat tire it was well past lunch time.

 Everyone was hungry and happy to eat before heading out on a hike.

 Since it was a pretty steep hike everyone had a partner.

 We did discover a new flower to us: agrimony

 Our first peak at the 50 foot Pixley Falls.

 We made it!!  For full disclosure...the walk to the bottom of the falls is very short.

 The best smile I can expect from this 8 year old.

 Pictures don't do it justice....there is A LOT of water going over this falls.

 All right....you can all take off your shoes.
