I've been meaning to post some pictures of all our craziness but just haven't had the time to get them out of my camera, organized, and presentable. I have a bunch of random pics. pulled to put up at some point, but I really wanted to tell you (and show you) about what we did on Memorial Day.

Besides remembering and discussing what Memorial Day is really all about, we decided to try to roll back time and recreate one of Collin's favorite childhood memories. Just 50 miles from here finished with a short hike, we visited Mt. San Antonio Falls. He remembers a waterfall 1/2 mile tall with a huge pool at the bottom. He remembers his sister stepping on a knife; and the family keeping that knife for years. He remembers playing in a rocky creek.

We went back to this area soon after we moved back here in the 90s before we were married, but I don't remember it being as spectacular and fantastic until we shared it with the kids. It was just breathtaking (and that just wasn't because the water was so cold). After visiting the falls, we meandered down the road to find the perfect picnic spot near the rocky creek.



A perfect way to start summer and create some memories that our kids will hopefully share with their own kids one day.
