We have a waterfall on the mountains behind our house. It’s just a little guy but it’s cool just the same. This last week we did a cousin swap. Doober went to the Phamdamily house (Youtube sensations!) and their son Gickos came to stay with us. So we decided to hike up to our backyard waterfall so he could take a look.
Here’s a little visual recap of the experience…
This is everyone scrambling to keep up with Scout. As usual she tried taking the lead, “You guys are slow pokes!”
Kate’s Real Food provided the sustenance for these little guys to make it to the top.

This is at the top of the waterfall. The kids decided this wasn’t good enough. They all wanted to be right at the bottom of it, so we had to do a little exploring to find a good route to the base.
Heading back down was a little more tricky than going up. The kiddos quickly learned that bum sliding was the easy way down the steep loose dirt and rocks.
This is Damon and Hiccup peaking around the corner at the waterfall. Since he was packing little man in the child carrier I scrambled down to make sure it was doable and to help spot the kids as they crossed over to the base of the waterfall.
We made it! HOORAY!
Damon said, “I’ll give each of you a dollar if you touch the rock behind the waterfall.” Gikos was the first to go and the others followed shortly after. They were a bit wet on the hike home but the next day we of course hit the snow shack…money bags.
At the end Hiccup thanked Dad for the comfy ride by giving him a fist bump!
The snack we had, Kate’s Tram Bars, were sent to us from their location in Driggs, Idaho (oh my heart I love this place). The Tram Bar is the original bar Kate created. She has several to choose from now. Each bar is made of all natural, organic ingredients, things you can actually pronounce, imagine that. The shelf life isn’t as long as a twinky of course but it lasts a few months and can be frozen for a long time too. We all liked it a lot, even the kids! They’re priced a little steep at $3 a piece but honestly they fill you up like you just ate a full meal. So they’re great on the go and especially when you’re exploring outside like Nature For Kids !
We loved having Gickos with us…he’s just as crazy funny as his mom and dad. Check out their families 200th vlog! I’m warning you it’s addictive! And if you’re interested to see what Doober was doing while at their house watch this …
