not much of a mirror

We managed to make the hour-ish drive to hike to Mirror Lake with the Gneitings. It was much smaller than we were expecting and a little bit windy so the water wasn't as ripple-free and mirroresque as is should be. It was beautiful nonetheless--and so nice to get out of the humid heat we'd been having in Portland.

Scarlett loved the freezing water! She passed our test and was allowed to go swimming the next day--not in the cool mountain water of Mirror Lake though.

Scarlett looks like she's asleep in the above picture, but she wasn't. She was trying to cower from the big mean sun in her face. But by the time we got back to the car, Scarlett was out. You would have thought that she just walked 3 miles. Being carried...walking...it's all the same to her.
