Caden's favorite thing to do with Nigel is go on adventures. Well, that's not true. EVERYTHING that Caden does with Nigel is his favorite thing to do with him. He loves hanging out with Nigel more than anything else in the world. They make everything so exciting, so adventurous, so EPIC :) But, going on adventures ranks way up top. Going on adventures is basically hiking, but when you're Nigel and Caden, it's nothing short of being in an Indiana Jones movie. They come home and have all kinds of stories to share about what they did and what they saw. I love hearing those stories!
On this particular adventure, they headed up the gorge to the Oneonta Falls Trail. Oneonta Falls is really fun to get into. You have 2 options for getting back to the falls - hiking through the water, or basically rock climbing your way back there. Caden and Nigel did that and then they also hopped on the trail to just hike around back behind the waterfall.
I don't know why, but it was just really hard for Caden to muster up a real smile during the hike. I think he had too much on his mind, what with the rolling boulders to avoid, snakes to tame, bears to catch, and wolves to befriend ;)
Another attempt at a smile :)
Their view for lunch.......
They chose the water route to get back to the falls.
And Caden fell in :( But he didn't care. It was all just part of the big adventure!
And done! What a great day of adventuring :)

Those are such GREAT pictures! I love the one of Caden looking out over the water!
This looks like a serious hike! !I am so impressed.
And yes...isn't that Daddy Adoration really something!?!? I am constantly reminding Ian that they WORSHIP him, so he better make sure he lives up to that!!
Beautiful pictures! I am sure Caden won't soon forget it.
