Bridal Veil Falls and Jolley's Ranch

Erica is pretty much the goofiest kid. She loves her blanket. And grapes. And crackers. She says it ca-cuh with a big pause in between syllables. It's super cute and we make her do it all the time. She's up to like 4 words now!
 Henry, also a goofy kid, loves yogurt and does not care if his face is messy.
 Sarah wanted to build her own trampoline. Apparently burying a big stick is step one.
 Friday morning we drove to Bridal Veil Falls. It was almost chilly in the shade, just how I like it. A bridge is always a big hit with my family.
 Sarah having fun throwing rocks in the river. Why is throwing rocks in water so fun?
 Did you notice Henry wearing snow gloves? They're Sarah's, no less.
 Erica is pretty content anywhere as long as she's in the stroller. She liked the water too.
Sarah and Henry pretty much climbed up any hillside they could find. It was a slow progressing walk to the falls.
 The kids were not disappointed. It's been so long, neither of them remembered coming before.
Look how little she was the last time we were there?

Last time we were there Henry was just barely one with big goofy teeth and didn't talk or walk or run away from me or say mean words or draw with marker on the bathroom door or throw toys at his sisters. (We've had a rough week.)
Henry really wanted to get into the water but did not like how cold it was.
The cold water didn't deter Erica.
 She loved it.
 Aw, such cute kids. If only they were always this sweet.

This is so something I would have done as a child. Nothing like hanging on a gate.
 That evening we went to Jolley's Ranch for my nephew Zack's birthday party.
 There are 6 months between each of these little boys and coincidentally they are sitting in order. Unfortunately they would not all look at the camera. Henry 4, Nathan 3 1/2, Mason 3, Eric 2 1/2. Henry is the oldest but not the tallest.
Erica got super dirty but I didn't care. She's so the third child. She has to eat dirt for me to freak out (and even that's not a guarantee).
Erica loves Henry. Most of the time he is super sweet with her except when she messes up what he's doing. I love how content she is just watching him work.
Do your babies like socks on their hands? Every one of my kids does this and I think it's so funny. Erica brings me any socks she finds for me to put them on her hands. Here she is wearing Sarah's socks and is looking quite glamorous.

Henry's quote of the week:

First thing in the morning, he comes into my room wearing nothing but his underwear.
Henry: Mom, do I look like the Hulk?
