On Saturday we went for a hike. We were supposed to hike up to a waterfall that we can slide down into the water. Its lots of fun. We went with a couple of students from Luke's work. It was nice and warm when we left home. Jax was enjoying some powdered donuts. "Bite! Mmmmm" were his exact words over and over. Silly boy. 
When we got to the base of the trail there were some clouds in the distance and the weather was a little cool but we thought no big deal. About half way up there was some lightning in the distance. Now I was getting nervous. It looked like it was right over where we were going. Luke swears it was far in the distance, at any rate I was voted down and we kept going. Next it started to sprinkle. Again no big deal we were going up to go swimming. More lightning and a lot more rain so we decided to hunker down and see if it would blow over. Then the lightning was pretty much right on top of us! No more voting Jax and I were heading down no matter what. Turns out the others were OK with that. At this point Jax started crying. He does not like to be cold and it definitely was. So we started a quick march down the mountain. We were soaking wet, running with a crying baby. I'm sure we were an awesome sight. Here we are warming up the Jax-cicle. Look how happy he is!

Not how we had planned our day turning out but it was an adventure for sure!
