Anne U White Trail With The Hills....Again

Last fall we went to the Anne U White trail with Kimberly and her boys. A great trail that followed a dry creek bed. We decided that we wanted to come back in early summer to see if we could find some water in the creek bed. Today we went back, and sure enough, there is water! I LOVE this place, it is the perfect trail to walk with kids and it is gorgeous!

Today I decided to leave my dslr at home and just take my point and shoot instead. I regretted that even before stepping out of the car.

The Johnson boys catching grasshoppers while waiting for the Hills.

The Hills arrive and the boys immediately busy themselves making a grasshopper house out of rocks.

So pretty!

A chunk of cactus that Isaac wanted to being home. Unfortunately he inspired Adam who consequently got cactus spines all over his hand, poor guy.

The youngest of each of our sibling groups, Adam and Asher.

We made it *maybe* a quarter mile down the 1.5 mile trail before the boys could no longer resist the water. We never did make it any further down the trail, but they had SO much fun playing in the water that we didn't mind at all.

Adam's transition from playing around the water to playing in the water was quite sudden and not necessarily with intention.

I believe at this time the boys were building a raft.

This brave mule deer ventured near to where we were.
