Battle Creek Falls

Because our summers are filled with cheer, soccer, and gymnastics, there are very few opportunities to go on vacations or do anything fun. We decided that we needed to get out and do something fun. So, Pug canceled soccer practice for a Saturday morning and we headed up to a neat little place and hike called Battle Creek Falls. It was a nice short, easy hike to some great looking waterfalls. On the way back home the kids had asked about how it got the name Battle Creek Falls. So I looked it up on google on my phone and found out that was the sight of the first battle the pioneers had with the indians. The pioneers had guns and won the battle, but not without significant loss of life to the indians. A sad bit of history at a beautiful place. This is somewhere I think we will need to go again!
