Mesa Falls with BJ's family

Today BJ's older sister Liz came for a visit.  We had a light lunch out on the lawn and then we made our way up north about 30 minutes to Mesa Falls.  It was National Get Outdoors Day, so we visited the Falls for free.
You will see Liz, John,  Olivia, Neeve, Caleb, Danny, Matt, Camille, Krystal, BJ, and Rylee, Verda and her  bear friend.  We hiked to the Falls and visited the Mammal exhibit inside  the Lodge.There were pelts from  different animals native to the area on display and you were encourage to touch them.  Mink, fox, skunk, beaver, wolf, etc. I favored the fox, Liz liked the mink better.  There were other exhibits outdoors as well, like the bear you will see in the pictures.  A beautiful place to visit.  The falls are 175 tall 200 feet wide.  This was Rylee's first visit to a National Park and her first trip with her Aunt, Uncles and cousins.  It was a grand day.




 No it wasn't raining, this is Mom keeping the sun out of Rylee's eyes.


 Matthew and his soon to be bride Camille.  What a cute couple.





And to finish the day, dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe.  YUM
