| After horseback riding we got in our cars and headed down another windy road to the Middle Prong Little River. It was a great hike... a wide trail and right beside the river the whole way up. The weather was beautiful. Warm but not hot. After about a mile we stopped to climb on some rocks. |

| Luke walked the whole way and loved every minute. He was always picking up leaves, rocks and sticks to show us or throw in the water. What a perfect adventure for a two year old little boy. |
| While we were playing around on the rocks, Del took Matthew out of his backpack and sat near the waterfall to play with him. Matthew wanted Grandpa’s hat and since Grandpa is a softy he gave it to him. Matthew put it on, took it off, played peek-a-boo, put it on again and smiled the whole time. …and then he dropped it into the river!! I put down my camera and tried to grab it out of the river but not in time… it swooshed (is that a verb?) away with the river’s current and went over the waterfall. We looked and looked but it was gone. Naughty Matthew! |
| Megan and Emily both got turns being dunked in the river. Actually, Luke did too but he wasn’t quite so happy about it. |
All the kids took turns on a ‘branch’ swing we found along the path… and Katie’s twisty snake stick.
| So tired!! By the time we got back to the van everyone was tired and starving. We drove into the nearest little town, Townsend, to find something to eat. After driving through the town’s one road ‘downtown’ we stopped to ask someone for a good recommendation. ‘Miss Lily’s Cafe!’ they said. We’re so glad we followed their recommendation. Miss Lily’s was fabulous… the perfect quaint home town restaurant for a family full of weary hikers. Chris and I had the best pulled pork sandwiches we’d ever tasted. Definitely a highlight of our trip. As we left we loaded up with deserts too… fresh raspberry cheesecake, double fudge brownies, sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies, lemon bars. We picked one of everything to try later that night. |

When I first saw that snake stick I thought it was a snake and about screamed....my most dreaded creature ever! Such an awesome trip and cabin! Can't wait to see your adorable family soon! I want to know more about the matching general authorities. Did you just get pictures off the internet and print them?? Are they laminated?
