Last weekend my dad and I decided it was time for another one of our adventures. We choose a "Kleisler Classic"- FOSSIL SPRINGS!!! We love Fossil Springs, but we don't do it the "normal way" - Kleisler's do things different, better one might even say! lol We decided to bring along some newcomers for this trip, my best friend Cristina and also my dad's cousin Kevin Gates and his whole family. We had a really great time as we hiked, did some cliff jumping off a water fall, and tubed down the river. At the end of the day the newcomers all decided they for sure wanted to come again, but cousin Kevin is going to need a special tube next time. Ha ha we are going to paint him a yellow one and write "short bus" on the side of it! lol Suffice to say everyone had fun, but cousin Kevin might need some tubing lessons! he hee
The beautiful waterfall that we always hike to
Deanna jumping off the rocks into the waterfall
Cousin Kevin jumped from the top of the waterfall- it only took him about 10 min to get up the courage to jump, he was sitting up there so long he had a nice little audience watching to see if he'd actually jump! ha ha
Spencer- the youngest of the Gates family jumps right off!
It's a bird, it's a plane, nope it's my dad jumping off the cliff! he hee
Collin has no fear and dove off the very top of the waterfall!!
No-fear Collin!! I think he jumped like 15 times off of the top!
I love climbing back behind the waterfall and jumping out from there
This is the jump from out behind the waterfall- crazy pic huh?
Once we had our fill of cliff jumping we tubed down the river on the crazy rapids- then we got to a cool spot and tied this rope across and played in the current.
Dad on one of the tubes playing around in the current
Deanna staring at all the tadpoles
I guess Megan takes after her mom- except Megan kept catching all the tadpoles!
Battle damage!! If you look at my dad's shoe, the whole rubber part is off, it was funny he had a talking boot for awhile, but then the whole thing ripped off!
The happy adventurers- well all except for Mr. Shortbus that is! ha ha
