Hiking the White Tanks....

These are in reverse order, but both kids were wiped out after the hike. I guess being backpacks on Mommy and Daddy is pretty hard work.

Noah was out before we were even done hiking.
Getting ready to leave the waterfall...
Looking the opposite direction from the waterfall...


Posing with waterfall behind us...very difficult to get people and waterfall in same picture AND NOT GET WET!!! We already had to get wet to our knees just to cross through the water and actually see the waterfall. The water was FREEZING and a little scary to cross on rocks with the kiddos on your back. I'm not sure the grandparents would have approved....
Noah kept pointing at the waterfall and saying "dat....dat...."
The bottom portion spilling off into the pool of yucky water...
We did it!
There was actually rushing water from the top of the mountain down. There was a man there that said he hasn't actually seen a waterfall since he was a little kid. There were tons of people out to see it....amazing what a little rain will do for the Arizona crowd. I seriously don't remember what it's like to think about weather...it's always a beautiful day everday!! Rain really throws you for a loop.
Getting ready to cross the first build up of water to make the final trek to the waterfall...
Heading out on our morning hike to see the waterfall with about a hundred other random people....it was the first clear day since all our rain and the crowds were out to take advantage of such a beautiful day!
