Snow in SoCal??

Yes, Virginia, it does snow in SoCal.  It snowed Friday, and Saturday there was still snow on the ground.  But by Sunday?? Well, this is California after all...

See, no snow.  I wouldn't have believed there had been snow there if I didn't live here.

Out for a hike...



Crossing the "river"...

You can do it, really, you can...



She didn't think she could.



The view....

The wild flowers.  Yes, they really are tiny.

Notice how Cadence is always in the front?

Cadence found one I missed.

The end of the trail for today.  Snack time!

Ahh, what beauty.  And a Papa teaching moment.  In this picture there lurks danger...  do you see it?...  Back there by that big tree...

See it now?  Recognize it?  OK, a closeup...

For those of you that don't recognize this, this is Poison Oak.  Just innocently hiding under the real Oak.  You don't want to get too close to this.

And the BIG accomplishment is standing on a BIG rock!!!   But notice that the Big sister doesn't look as brave!

In this picture is another plant you don't want a close encounter with.  See it?

Stinging Nettle...

Papa running rear guard back down the trail...

Cadence jumping from rock to rock.

Clarisse not exactly jumping...

I wonder what made this footprint?

All that hiking really takes it out of you!

Hope you enjoyed our hike as much as we did...

Papa
