Bloomington Lake

 This was our first trip to Bloomington Lake since July 2010, a wedding and two kids ago. It is quite a bit busier than it was back then. Too many people have found out how beautiful it is.

Taking a little dip to beat the heat!



Both kids were great hikers on the way in, only about 3/4 of a mile. 

 Then Ellie turned into a mountain goat when we got around the lake to the huge rocks.

 She was being very adventurous and Benson felt like he needed to do everything Ellie did, which made us a little nervous.
He was definitely getting tired and just sat with me for awhile so Danny could go for a little swim. He only perked up for a picture when we promised him a milk shake when we got done hiking.

 Sleepy and hot. It was 90 degrees out while we were hiking and we went through a lot of water!

 Benson got a free ride out of the mountains. The huge group of people were waiting and watching people on the rope swing. Too many people.
Ellie finished the hike finding all different kinds of wild flowers. Pink, purple, blue, yellow and white.
