Fall Creek Falls

About two months ago I felt the need for a vacation.  On a whim I logged into the state website for booking cabins at state parks.  Fall Creek Falls is someplace we have not been in many years. As luck would have it, there was 1 cabin available.  It was the only cabin and only for a single weekend.  Everything else was booked.  So I quickly reserved the cabin.  When looking at the details I see that it is pet friendly.... Bear and Rose's lucky day!

So blocked out everyone's calendar and we were set.

The days of Rod and I taking a weekend with just our two girls is most likely over... so this trip included both boyfriends.  Although we will miss the days of our girls being younger, we were happy to have Matt and Hunter along.

Our cabin was not one of the newly renovated ones, but still plenty nice for our short weekend.  We were on the lake with our balcony actually out over the water.  We had plenty of ducks coming by to see us and the water was beautiful.

On Saturday we did hiked most of the day.  It included going hiking to see Cane Creek Falls, then driving over to the main Fall Creek Falls.  We hiked to Rocky Point Overlook (more to come about that spot!!!), then to the bottom of Fall Creek Falls where we had lunch (Thanks to Bear for toting that to the bottom for us).  The day was finished with grilling steak and chicken and having a great family meal.

Sunday, after a huge breakfast,  had us going to an overlook for Piney Falls and the overlook called Buzzards Roost.  This was one of the coolest overlooks we have ever done!

I took a lot of pictures... I am posting less than 10% feel free to scroll and look until you get bored :)
