Vaca with Jeff and Michelle part 2

Saturday was a lot of fun. We went up past Sundance and went to Cascade Springs. We wanted a short hike that would be easy to do with strollers. This hike has some nice cascade pools that are tiered. We left and it started to rain on us. We were afraid that it would be rainy up where we were going. It turned out to be a beautiful day.
Here is Joseph hiking up a mountain on his own. We were unloading our cars and he started to explore the area.
Here is a family picture next to one of the pools. There were brown trout inside. It rained on us a little, but it was so nice and cool.
Jeff and Michelle and Nathan. I like this because Nathan looks like he is thinking, "Seriously...another picture." It was just so nice up there.
Another picture of our family on a bridge that goes over the spring. It wells up a little ways up from where we are and is a natural spring that you can drink from. At dawn or dusk you can usaully see wild life around. I have only ever seen deer, but I don't think I would want to see a bear or mountain lion.
Joseph was fascinated by the stream. He loved to listen to the sound of it crashing on the rocks as it flowed down.
After our brief hike, we went to the upper parking lot of Cascade Springs for a short lunch. Here is my little boy eating his sandwich on a rock. What a cutie!!
Here is Nathan driving the car! He honked the horn a couple of times and startled himself. Joseph was running around the cars acting like a dinosaur.

Michelle carrying both Samuel and Nathan. Nathan finally smiled for me as I was taking a picture. Of course, this only lasted a moment before Samuel started to cry. He was so sleepy at this point.
Joe and I on the Alpine loop. We drove it after our hike. There were some nice views of Timp and the other mountains that are behind it. There were also some scary drop offs along the drive, but all in all, it was just so nice outside. I am glad that we went.
Joe and Jeff went to a soccer game and Michelle and I enjoyed a girl's night in. We watched a movie and talked. It was fun.
