Return to Emma

This weekend we returned to one of our favorite places-Emma Lake near Sonora Pass. We camped on Friday night with all three kids, which was an adventure. The campsite was great because the sites were nicely spread out giving us plenty of privacy and a noise buffer. The hike on Saturday to the lake was beautiful. Plenty of wildflowers and a gorgeous crystal clear lake to throw rocks in. We even saw a handful of fish. Unfortunately, mom was very tasty to the local bug population. I received close to 30 mosquito bites, while the rest of my family received ZERO. Not a single one on anyone else. Bummer! They itch like crazy and hydrocortisone cream is not helping.

This picture didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but I think it looks cool



Light pink Indian Paintbrush- such a wonderful color









A spring bubbling up from the ground. On our way back down the trail we fill up our water bottles. There were three spring flowing from the ground in this peaceful meadow

Someone must have known we were coming- How nice of them to make us a sign, even though the S is backwards












This is my favorite photo of this trip. I love how the sun rays are hitting the paintbrush
