CAUTION: LONGER POST THAN USUAL.
I hardly ever get to see these two women,
I guess that's why all of the smiles you see aren't just for the picture. We smiled every second of that day, even after hiking two miles on a pretty rough trail. Two and a half hours of dodging rocks, roots, and ridges is the kind of fun more people should have now a days. The lady to my right is actually 74 years old, and her "hit and drop" method apparently helped her get through the trail. She kept assuring us to go along without her, that she was just slow because "she couldn't breathe good." As she made friends with every hiker that passed us, she would tell them "I ain't lettin' no 13 and 17 year old pass me up on this trail! I ain't old!" You see, I really love this woman who hiked a two mile steep trail for us.
Before we hiked our way to the falls, we hiked our way to the lodge for food. The time it took to get our meals was about two hours or so, and my impatient grandma asked the waitress if she needed to help kill the cow and chicken for our meal. Kelsey and I just sat there laughing the whole time. I'm tellin' ya, my grandma is hilarious. She uses phrases that don't really fit in with this decade.

Every step and sore muscle was completely worth the effort. We saw God at His finest, He is such a detailed creator. He never leaves out one thing. Our world is so, so beautiful.
And shout out to my cousin, Kelsey. I'm pretty sure she is the little sister I never had, and ended up being a cousin that lives in another state. She stalks my blog and I love her with all my heart.
Two miles. Can I get a fist pump?
