Snowy Adventures

We spent the day exploring the Snowies with Joel and Laura. We headed up to the mountains a little before lunch and had a nice picnic lunch consisting of grapes, apples, and cheese before we began our hike.  It was such a great hike and an extremely beautiful day....well except for the extreme gusts of wind.  At times SaraJane had to wear her long sleeve shirt as a hat to keep her ears warm! 
After the hike we drove over the pass into Saratoga and indulged in the hot springs.  The weather was a little too warm to sit in the hot springs for too long, but it was still a nice treat.  Joel and Micah then went exploring for the "perfect" fly fishing spot while Laura and SaraJane enjoyed a good book and took a little siesta. Needless to say we had a great day and we were happy to be outside!  Soon these adventures will include lots of snow.... Boo hoo to summer coming to an end.
