First Family Hike - Coal Creek Falls

With a break in the rain on Sunday morning, we decided to test out our recent kiddo backpack purchase by going on our first family hike. 

Corey did some research and thought Coal Creek Falls would be perfect and it didn't disappoint.  It was only about 15-20 minutes from our house, and was just 2.5 miles round trip, so we didn't worry about Jackson getting too tired, or about taking up too much of the day driving to and from the location.

It only took us about an hour round trip to hike to the falls and back and both boys seemed to enjoy the wilderness and the big waterfall that awaited us mid-hike.  I can't believe that this place was right off Exit 13, in the middle of Bellevue. Who knew?!

We are already planning some more hikes in the near future - a great way to spend a morning, now that Cole is napping just once a day!

He's trying to learn the art of the selfie...

My boys.


One more selfie try.


Hikes really wear a kiddo out - so much so, you've gotta sleep with the butt up.
