Cascade Springs

We took the kids to Cascade Springs today. I told the kids it was a hike, but really, can you call it a hike when the trail is paved? There were signs posted telling you what certain plants were, and what wild life to look for. It was a nice little walk... only .6 miles....and there was shade on about half of the path. Of course, we got started later than we hoped, the drive was longer than we thought, and by the time we got back to the car, the kids seriously thought they were starving right to death!

7 million gallons of water flow throught this spring every day.... who knew?


Taking a rest...surprising how many of these the kids thought they needed!

The only successful picture on the bridge...I tried many.

Biggest discovery of the day: the lizard with the missing tail!






After making it back to town, we took the kids to Gandolfos to use the free kids meal coupons they got at the parade last Saturday. Apparently, if you starve kids and then take them out, they eat really well! They didn't even have time to fight because they were too busy eating!

We haven't ever done that. Looks like fun. I need you to take pictures for me - when life settles down. You do such a good job!
