stewart falls

during summer, paul and i don't get out much. paul works really hard. he comes home, eats and sleeps. so when he doesn't have to work on a saturday, we try to take full advantage... the last time i "hiked" stewart falls (really... it isn't a hike!) was when i was in high school. paul had never hiked it before so i thought it would be fun. plus the weather was really nice. we packed water and granola bars and headed off. i couldn't believe how much snow was still there. there wasn't a ton of snow, but there was enough here and there on the trails to make it a little difficult. it is so pretty! not crowded at all. the nice thing is that just when you get hot, the temperature drops and then the falls come into view. paul loved it. sometimes paul acts like a little boy who i have to watch constantly...i turned to look at the open fields and snow, and paul was starting to create a hiking trail on mossy rocks. it scared me to death. i couldn't look! i could have smacked him. he came down for a few pictures, and wanted to climb higher. i went with him this time on a more sturdy path. maybe next time we will attempt to go into the falls. i loved it. it also got me really wanting to get out and be active...
