Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas!!




We made it to Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas around 7pm on June 6th. Greg and I are really starting to get this whole camping thing down. We were definitely on a roll when it came to "popping" out that camper! It took us a little over an hour to get all set up. BAM BAM BAM, high five, awesomeness. P.S. Greg is only wearing a sweatshirt because of bugs haha. 

The Kids were a nice little help, too! (when we allowed them haha!)

Even though it was late, we made sure we had a little campfire before bed ;)

The next morning the weather was perfect and so peaceful. One of my favorite things about camping is waking up on a “cool” morning and relaxing with a cup of tea! Noah sleeps like a rock in this camper! He just looks so sweet!
                                       
We just got this hammock at a Bass Pro Shop along the way. Definitely HEAVEN! The kids absolutely love it, too. Especially Kam when it comes to rocking her baby.


Later that morning we headed out on a 2-2.5 mile hike to a waterfall called Cedar Falls. Greg had Kam in the backpack and Noah hiked the whole way! I am not going to say this hike was easy, Greg and I were very impressed with Noah! The first part of the hike was climbing down about 200 feet. Lots of rocks and tree roots on the ground. So much fun!







 We got to this awesome bridge going over Cedar Creek. It was a two person bridge only! It was pretty neat and the kids loved.





I think Kam had the most luxurious hike of all, she even fell asleep on the way to the waterfall!



We made it!! And it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!!!!!!!!! Noah cried a little just before we got there but even he thought it was worth it! He thought it was so worth it, it took us half the time to get back! He was literally running at the end. He was testing his mama and her ability to hike up 200 feet!! Anywho, off track, here’s the beautiful waterfall. We packed a lunch and were able to find a flat rock to sit on and enjoy!









 Well that was that with Petit Jean! The hike really was the highlight of the trip! We did spend some time at the pool where they had a diving board. Noah loved that of course and Kam enjoyed being a little fishy.
