Tallulah Falls

If you ever want to go for a weekend to get a little rest & relaxation might I suggest Tallulah Falls. Our friends invited us to go with them to the mountains for some weekend fun. We had a blast, and were sad to see it end. We rented a 5000 sq. foot, 3 story, 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2 kitchen, 2 family room, 2 decks overlooking breathtaking views, and sun room cabin.

The best part is this place had cable, so we were able to see conference all snuggled up on the couch and enjoy it with some wonderful friends. Inevitably, it seems there always has to be some bad with the good. I was so excited to have this fun weekend, we were planning on leaving friday afternoon. Around 1:00 pm I started to feel a little ill. I believe I had some form of food poisoning. I was not sure I would be able to make this fun filled weekend. Matt got home from work and packed the whole car and got everything ready to go, while I layed ill on the couch. I asked him to give me a blessing, and he blessed me with some comfort and relief. It did taper off a little, long enough for us to make it up to the cabin. At least one person in every family that came that weekend got sick on the trip, or on the way up. After all that passed we all had a fabulous time.

We headed to Tallulah falls were you can hike down to the bottom of the falls, and the hike back up the 1067 steps back up to the top. Matt and I headed down with all three kids. Matt hiked down with Seth in the carrier, I walked with Isaiah, and Mckayla walked with both of us. I had opted to only go half way. There is a bridge half way down, so when I reached this I decided I would turn back. I was still a little queezy from the day before, and I knew that the moment the kids started to hike back up the stairs they would be to tired to go all the way up. I tried to take Isaiah or the baby with me, but Matt insisted that he would be able to do with all the kids. So I headed back, and a little bit later, and with some help from our friends Matt and the kids made it back to the top of the falls. What a Hike!!!

After conference we headed to the river where the water was pretty shallow, and lots of rocks to walk around on. The kids had a great time, here are some of the river shots.

This is the view from the deck of the cabin in the morning.
