Labor Day

Yesterday, we hiked to Cuberant Lake and the Lofty Lakes in the High Unitas.  

(yah, we hike in formation because we're cool like that :-)



We must have seen a dozen lakes! 
Sam and Rylie decided to test out the water.

We underestimated the amount of miles it would take us to hike to Cuberant and do the loop.  We ended up doing 8 miles.  The terrain was rocky and steep in places, but the views were worth it.  We were met with some wind and rain toward the end of the hike.  That always seems to happen when we're hiking in that area.  Thankfully, our kids are real troopers!!!

(note to self: always pack rain gear and fleece jackets when hiking in the high unitas :-)

And this last picture is for you, Dad.  
(He's a Plant Pathologist and studies water lilies.  I can't count the number of times I've seen him wade into some body of water to collect samples.)
