Pikes Peak

Ryan found out about this really cool peak in Iowa, just across the Mississippi from where we go to church (Prairie Du Chen, about 45 mins from us). This is REALLY high up. I’m kinda afraid of hights, so I didn’t like going to the very edge even though there was a rail. Kaitlyn was fearless and absolutely loved it here! There were so many places to run and things to see.
The very edge of the peak- I was as far as I could go with out panicking and I had to hold Kaitlyn back



All of us on the peak, that’s the Mississippi behind us



The pictures don’t do it justice, it was so beautiful!
After we checked out the peak we let her play on the playground and then went down the trail to see the other sights.
It was a great trail we even saw a stick bug crawling around! I actually almost steped on it, until I realized it was a bug! I should have taken a picture, but I was too freaked out. Ryan loved it. After a while I realized it was pretty cool. It’s just pretty freaky when your about to put your foot down and a stick starts walking. This pretty waterfall was as far as we went on the trail. You could keep walking and go under it, but there’s no way with a toddler. If we weren’t there Ryan would have loved to go under the falls, but Kaitlyn is to much of a dare devil and would have wanted to follow.



There was a little trickle of water dripping here so Kaitlyn got to feel it and check it out.



Doesn’t Emily look impressed by the waterfall?



If anyone wants to go camping in Iowa near the Mississippi, give us a call. We'd love to camp there sometime. Maybe our family's would want to come up and visit, do some camping or something. Hint hint, wink wink!
