Palouse Falls

Since Dave worked the weekend, he got Monday and Tuesday off. So, we took an adventure as a family today. We drove up to the Palouse Falls and had a fantastic time exploring and being outside. It was kind of an overcast day, so it was nice and cool. The geologic formations were so beautiful and everything was green. We loved it. The boys were a little disappointed that we didn't go to the bottom of the waterfall, but it was a really steep hike so we didn't attempt it. The boys had a good time wandering around and hiking and climbing.

We brought lunch with us and had a picnic at the falls. When there is so much to see, there isn't time to sit and eat, so mostly just Mommy and Daddy ate while Braden ravaged the table, and the boys continued to explore. We saw some "prairie dogs" and then ran right down their hole. Tanner is pointing at the hole here.
There were quite a few look out points, and we went to them all.
We saw two blow snakes, which were so AWESOME!!! Tanner says it was his favorite part. Colty wasn't as excited about it and carried a handful of rocks around to throw at the snake if he saw another one. He was really glad we didn't.

Then we took a little hike to see the upper falls. Little Mr. Independent liked to walk by himself.
It was a baby waterfall, and wasn't blocked by a fence, so we had to be very careful. Our Daddy gets real nervous about stuff like that.
