This week my post is going to be a little bit shorter and lighter as I am preparing for my week and my weekend was pretty busy. My aunt and uncle came into town for the weekend on their way to RI. For several weeks we did our best to plan something fun to do in the mountains. We finally (the night before) planned to go to the water falls in NC. We went to Hooker Falls & Triple Falls.
Well, some of us went to both. (My mom and aunt had the foresight to stay in the car as the rain started to fall.) The first hike to the falls was beautiful and we all enjoyed the short hike. When we got back to the parking lot some of us decided to go hike the trail to Triple Falls. Little did we know that we’d get back to the cars completely drenched! The second hike was more challenging but overall was fun for me. I didn’t exactly like getting soaked from the rain, but I had fun and told everyone that it was going to be a fun story to share! Of course, I am sharing it here with you guys.
I love being outdoors. Taking a trip to hike to the waterfalls was the best part of the week for me. Also, spending time with my family. When I am out in nature, especially in the mountains, I feel at peace. I look around at the beauty and marvel at all God has created! This is just one small thing that brings me joy.
What’s one thing that brought you joy last week?
Part of me wishes I would have been adventurous and seen the beautiful triple falls. The other part of me is feeling quite smug for being dry, and not having to buy clothes at Walmart. Though that in itself was an adventure!
