Cress Creek Nature Trail

Sometime in May, we hiked the Cress Creek Nature Trail.  It's a one-mile, paved trail, but with kids, ANYTHING counts as a hike, right?
Raring to get on the trail!


One of many beautiful views

We met some great people who took a picture of us

Another beautiful view

Cheering because we made it to the top! The girls weren't sure we'd ever make it up that STEEP hill, so this bench was well-placed at the top.


This watercress is lining the whole creek along the trail, hence the name "Cress Creek"

It was so pretty.  All that green, in May in Idaho.  A very rare sight.

Heading back down the trail.




Emalyn got passed..Krysta was in a hurry to get back and eat some lunch!

This post reminds me of the fun hikes we used to take with out little ones. I have some great memories... Motivation is the key, isn't it, Krysta?

Cute pictures! Hiking as a family are some of my favorite memories.

I have wondered what water cress was ever since reading "The Trumpet of The Swan" as a kid. Thanks for clearing that up!

And aren't those La Cueva swim team hoodies the best sweatshirts ever?! I still wear mine too. :)
