Santa Barbara Hike

The weather has been so nice lately we decided to go on a hike. So 3 friends of mine and 19 kids later we were caravaning to Santa Barbara to hike up to a waterfall. This was my first time taking Jake on a hike and was a little apprehensive but he did great. It was about 2 to 3 miles to get to the waterfall and all of the kids were loving it. Of course Tyler was already telling me he was tired, but he kept going, like he had any other option. He cracks me up while we were hiking the entire way he had his hands in his pockets. I kept telling him to take them out because if he falls he is going to fall flat on his face he just looked at me like I was crazy. All in all it was a great time and we got through the day with only a couple scratches and tears. That's not bad for 19 kids ranging from 11 down to 3 1/2 months.
You can't beat the Southern California weather
I love it here!
