The Emerald Pools

We have had many great summer adventures.
This one was one of my favorites.
It had been a couple of years since we spent an afternoon at the emerald falls.
So lunches were packed, lots of water, and we were off!
It was hot hiking in...like a 104 hot!
But that made the waterfalls along the way extra good.
And the pools at the top heavenly.
Lucy impressed her European friends she made along the trail.
Her little stick legs were maneuvering up the mountain much faster than most.
Canyon found some boulder jumping.
And Ellie drew masterpieces in the sand.
Shane covered up the no swimming in the pools sign.
I just soaked everything in.
A lovely start to a 4th of July weekend.

I can't imagine not swimming in 104 degree heat!
