Whitewater Preserve

We have been doing little hikes with the kids at local trails and they have been loving every minute!  It's definitely something we want to continue through the summer.  There are a few preserves close to us that we have been checking out. http://wildlandsconservancy.org/

This one is Whitewater Preserve just twenty minutes away from us!

Samuel, Reed and Paige ready to start our day!

Paigey and Samuel checking out the fish.

The fish were huge!

It was so pretty there!  You would never know it was hidden behind all the desert dirt!

Running off to explore the next pond area!

We bought the kids bug kits from The Dollar Tree so they could look for and collect bugs! 

Paige was really into it!  HA HA! 

Deciding which trail to take! 

Of course there was climbing! 

They liked throwing rocks in the river. 

I love the friendships these three have formed!  It's almost like Samuel is their brother and they are all equally close so no one feels left out! 

Samuel, Lorinda and Wesley 

My sweet girl and me. 

My little loves! 

My dangerous girl who knows no fear! 

This trip was a few weeks back (I'm always behind on my blog!) but we've added more people to our hiking crew since then!  Can't wait to share the summer exploring the local mountains with our favorite people!
