Here are some more pictures from our stop at the upper falls, including our walk down the nature trail back to the car...

Once we finished up at the upper falls we drove back down to the lower falls. I couldn't convince the kids to go swimming this time, like we did in the fall - they were convinced that it was going to be too cold for that. I imagine that they were probably right. In addition to the frigid water temperature, the river was flowing much faster today than it did during our last visit as well. It would have been very difficult to traverse the river at the pace that it was moving today. Enjoy the photos!

	All four of the kids say on the downed tree in the middle of this photo earlier this year. I'm not sure that they could have done so during this trip.

	Jayden and Drew both decided that they wanted to test out the water...
