Ouzel Falls

We made it back to one of our very favorite hiking places, Ouzel Falls. Claire was particularly giggly and happy this day, really hamming it up for the camera.

This girl loves exploring in the mountains. Here are this year's photos.

And here are last year’s.

This year.

Last year.

What a ham ball!

Claire has started hiking on her own this summer, which is a very exciting development for us. She can usually do a little over half a mile on her own. The speed, however, varies from running down the trail to stopping every six inches to inspect/pick up/throw rocks.

Beautiful.

And this is what happens when we get to the car.
