Hiking - the good , the bad, and the disgusting... ( you'll see...)

1.5 miles up.... 1.5 miles down.
3 miles total.
You could do that. =)

Taking a short cut.

We ate lunch by the lake

Friends =)

So cute!

I think we are looking at Crayfish. 

I don't know if I'm falling or what... =)

SO cute!

Amazingly beautiful... 

Crossing the log

the water in the stream was actually colder than the lake. 

Awesome right?!

Crayfish eating a fish!

I think Hannah is either poking a crayfish or trying to

 fish out a skeleton of one ( below)

This was cool - walking through the plants 

Cuuuuuuute!

We were runaways and this was the foundation of our "house" - A stick 

Mount Hood with Mirror lake-gorgeous!

This is Why its called Mirror lake. 

Our Secondary house - Big tree to sleep under, the lake , 

fireplace, kinda hidden.....     It was perfect!

Now here is the disgusting part... well it was really gross to me. I don't know about the twins.. =)  On our way back down, We were kinda running and I tripped and fell (on the rocks pictured above) .. And gashed my hand open. It hurt a lot. I thought to take a picture. But didn't find time. And now there's just a scab so there would be no reason to take a picture now. =)

I'm gross I know....
