Cecret Lake

No, it's not a typo...it's called "Cecret" lake :) My aunt Shaunie is so hilarious. She LOVES flowers--more than ANYONE I know in the world! So she invited us to go to Cecret Lake during the best flower-blooming season, and it was totally gorgeous, of course! It was really funny though because every step of the way, she was dying over the flowers, and they were almost all the same, but every "lupine" and "forget me not" varieties were very important haha.

Claire was quite the hiker! But mostly she just played in the dirt, rocks, water, etc. She was almost oblivious to the flowers--we had to keep telling her that they were there! She just wanted to play with the rocks...tomboy on our hands? Probably not--hope not! She has to be super girly like mommy ;)

Anyway, here are some pics...

Here's the trail to the lake! SUCH pretty flowers, of course!

Eager to "get hiking!"

Claire's favorite part--the dirt.

More dirt... Let's be honest--we had to stop a lot on this "hike" :)

Photobucket
Another favorite--the water!

Getting dirty!

Shaunie and me. There I am in an "I give up" outfit looking like...what's the word...um...a whale...I really need to have this baby SOON!!! AH!

And Shaunie took a "family pic" of us in the flowers...check out Claire's SUPER cheesy smile!
Needless to say, I didn't exactly make it to Cecret Lake. The last part of the hike is all uphill and looked labor-inducing (at this point, walking to the very back of the movie theater is like hiking Mt. Everest, so...). But the "journey" was great!

It's Jordan's new camera--the Canon 50D or D50...whatever it's called :)I talked about it actually, 4 posts down :) But the pictures are also edited in Photoshop, so they look even better, let's be honest :)
