Gram, Megs, and Necie hiked a little ways with us, I was looking down at them when i took it.

On Monday we all got up early had some coffee, made sandwhiches and filled our water bottles, and took the 10 minute drive to Catalina State Park. Gram, Meg, and Necie hiked for a while with us and then Jason and I blazed ahead. It was only 2.8 miles to the pools so we decided to go for it. The climb wasn't too bad, rocky at parts, but when you finally get to water in the middle of desert mountians, it was worth the hike. It was very hot on the way down and we were glad that we started when we did. Later we sat by the pool and fried a little more, had some really good burgers for dinner, and then us girls went to the mall. Vacation is wonderful!
