Me, Hugh, and Smores at Little Bradley Falls
This weekend Amy’s sister Jenny and her family came down for a visit. My brother-in-law Hugh and I elected to pass on the trip to the hospital to visit Grandma (she had a minor fall, but when you are going on 96 years old, it does not take much to send you to the hospital!)
Instead, Hugh and I took Smores for a short little hike to
Little Bradley Falls.
Almost immediately we ran across two new friends for Smores

They had collars and look well fed, but there were no signs of any owners. They stayed with us the entire 1.2 mile hike to Little Bradley Falls . One thing we learned on this hike is that Smores is deathly afraid of creeks. Which made all the creek crossings a bit more of a challenge for Hugh!

This guy had no problems with the creek crossings!
Little Bradley Falls is not the tallest or most powerful around, but it my opinion it is one of prettiest and most photogenic in the area!

On the return hike, I took a bit of time to photograph some of the abundant wildflowers blooming along the trail. I also enjoyed laughing at Hugh's feeble attempts to get Smores to cross the creeks on her own!

The hike to Little Bradley Falls was was much more enjoyable than a hospital visit, and with
her Great Grand Children around, I am sure Grandma did not miss Hugh and I!
