R&R @ Hocking Hills...At least most of the time!

We may have aimed a little too high on this vacation considering the ages of our little angels (9, 5, & 2). They were troopers and full of energy as we spent three hours hiking at "Old Man's Cave". Again, the beauty of Mother Nature was breath taking. Kimberly climbed every rock in sight; she really impressed us on some of the bigger ones. Austin caught onto this and soon they were both climbing to the top of each rock, arms in the air, shouting "King/Queen of the World"! Lexus caught a salamander down by the creek and there were GIANT butterflies everywhere.










Exhausted is an understatement of how we all felt after "Old Man's Cave"; so we rushed back to the cabin for a quiet night in. We watched Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" and hit the hot tub with yummy drinks like shirley temples for the kiddos and frozen margaritas for the grown-ups.




Our last day was spent canoeing...BOY OH BOY! were we not ready for this yet! The girls' were great. They loved helping us paddle the canoes, swimming, and collecting shells in the river. Austin on the other hand quickly lost his patience being confined to 2X2 square and demanded "Me go home!" He cried the rest of the ride tucked in between my legs. We also visited "Cedar Falls" and "Conkle's Hollow". Thank goodness the ride home to our beloved No. KY was drama-free and smooth sailing!
