Mom was taking lots of pictures of the flowers in the desert. She said she needed to show people that the desert was beautiful.
Christian was determined to bring his canteen on this hike. He didn't for his practice hike in White Tanks earlier that week and he regretted it. This time he brought it and didn't really need it.
Christian and Mom went on ahead while I walked with Dad. Mom is at the top. She made it!
Christian decided to hide from us - too bad; I found him.
In order to get to the waterfall, you need to cross the stream on the rocks. Here is Dad trying it. He looks a little wobbly - watch out:)
He made it across the tricky part and got turned around on the last rock. Down he went! The other people were worried about him, but we were just laughing (including Dad).
"I made it!" he said.
Christian came around the other side of the stream through a tiny hole. He said I could have made it if I tried. (I climbed over the rock on the side of this picture.)
The waterfall - we were glad it had water.
After seeing three girls go across the pool to climb up the rocks, Christian decided to do it too. (There was second pool higher up that you couldn't see.)
There he goes.
He got up there - so did the girls.
The waterfall is behind Christian and the second pool is off to his side. He could see it but we couldn't.
When Christian got down he decided he wouldn't even try not to get wet and just went all the way in.
Since Christian was already wet, we made him help Dad across the rocks so he wouldn't fall down again. Christian even helped another lady across as well. What a gentleman!
Mom decided to try my way. She went over the rock I did on my way to the waterfall.
I tried Christian's way - through this small rock. Mom thought I was crazy and would get stuck. I didn't. I made it through the rocks :0)
The hike was enjoyable. That night we all went up by the lake and watched Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakual. It was fun. Then we found out it was a double feature with New Moon. Dad decided he didn't want to see it (it was already after 9:00). Mom and Christian ran home (in the car) and got more treats, more blankets (it was cold), and Mom got into longer pants. Then we watched New Moon. We got home after 11:00 after having a wonderful day and Spring Break.
