Hike to See Wildflowers, Part 1

So we went on this hike to see wildflowers. They are supposed to be spectacular this year, with our abundant 6 inches of rain since August 2007. The flowers were OK, but it was great to get out and do a little hike. 1.25 miles and Lola walked most of the way. She insisted on bringing her backpack, which was in the car, storing tap and ballet shoes and a change of clothes for school. I warned her that if she wanted to bring it along, she'd be carrying it the whole way. Of course, she was cool with that...until about 5 minutes into the walk. Lucky for her, she has a compassionate sister who helped her out. A little Lola love

Sweet sisters...they have their moments of best friendship.

3/4 of the foti fam. When I asked Madeline why our heads weren't in the picture, her obvious response was, "I wanted to get Lola in the picture!" Of course.

4 inches of rain we've had this year and all.
