Niobrara River

Who knew floating down a river in Nebraska could be so pretty. Beautiful. We had a wonderful time on our mini trip to the Niobrara. We joined our friends the Bischoffs and Cleggs on this quick jaunt to Valentine Nebraska. When I say "float" the river I mean it... it was so relaxing and casual. It was enjoyable for all, even the "wee ones." The kids loved to jump on and off into the river & ON the tubes and bounce around. We had some kayaks, Ellie's personal favorite. My personal favorite was stopping at the many waterfalls along the way. Wow. I was surprised to see such sights. This is "Smith Falls" the largest waterfall in Nebraska.
Ellie and Avery down at the bottom of this huge waterfall. The neat part of this waterfall was the hike back to it, you could walk part of the way through the falls run off. Soooo, icy cold. Stair Step Falls, gorgeous.

Done floating for the day. The best part, we had hired Graham's outfitters to organize our river ride & set up our camp. They prepared everything from the tents, tables, fire and grilled the food. Time to get our "grub on" A big thank you to Bruce for arranging the details and planning this fun trip.

Can't camp without s'mores.and good friends
