Silver Creek Falls

Is that what it's actually called?  Or is it just "Silver Falls"?  Hmmm.  I need to check into that.  Either way, we headed up to the park last week, with Grandma Pennick acting as chaperon, to enjoy the beautiful weather.  I'm sure I hadn't walked the falls since Jon was a baby.  It was a good day for an adventure.

 First view of the falls.  I am loving the new (don't know how new they actually are as I haven't seen them before) fence/barricade.  Feels much safer.

 Under the falls.

 In a "cave" of sorts.

 Just before the foot bridge.  Funny side note:  There was a warning sign and a temporary barricade that we walked over to get to this point and Jon was certain we would all perish or be arrested for ignoring the warning.  He's rather uptight.

 Jack walking over a fallen log, across the creek.  Crazy.

 A "castle" made from an old stump.  

 Just a pretty, little spring on the side of the hill.

Evidently Sarah did not win the race.  That would explain the face.

After the park, we drove on to Silverton to check out the chocolate store.  Here's a link:

Oh. My. Heavens.  This place is amazing!  After nibbling on some treats, we wandered into a few shops, got a coffee, then headed to.......

McDonalds!  

That was the hit of the day for the kids.
