Day 1865 - Kilgore Falls

Melissa had been looking for a waterfall to take Ruth to - kind of out of nowhere, Ruth had just been asking lots of questions about waterfalls. So, she found out about Kilgore Falls, and we made our way out there one Saturday after swim class.

It was a pretty short and pleasant walk through the woods.

The falls were quite nice, and Ruth had fun looking around at everything.

Ruth had a ton of fun checking out the tadpoles in the pools. There were zillions of them.

After about seventeen hours of checking out tadpoles, we climbed the narrow path to the top of the falls.

Coming down was a bit scarier than going up.

Afterwards, we all went to Jarettsville Creamery for ice cream. Not really a proper ending for a story, but hey, yum.

Day 892 - Nature!

There's a nice park relatively near us (accessible now that we have a car - thanks Mom and Dad!) that has a nature center. Ruth was charmed by the animals that she could look at (live) and touch (dead). We took her back after this outing for the honey festival, which was a hit, too (those are from Day 899)

Afterwards, we stopped at Andy Nelson's BBQ, which was REALLY a hit. Their potato salad is great, but Ruth is just interested in tearing through piles of meat.
