Emerald Pool

Saturday was a fun day with time well spent with friends. I worked in the craft shop in the morning and Steven finished a few projects here and there. Another thunderstorm or two surfaced around 2:00 and some friends arrived at house (Chelsea, JB, Katie, and Shelby)....or maybe I should say some friends and "kids" (as in our kids) in soon after the storm subsided. We decided to all take a walk up to Emerald Pool. It is a cool place locals like to visit in the hot summer afternoons....a fun spot for swimming at times....just sharing some captures from the day below:
Water pouring into the pool

And another picture of Emerald Pool

All the girls!

Walking across the rocks on the way!

Katie goes for a swim...but not on purpose! She slipped off the log when trying to take a picture of Steven and landed in the water while giggling out loud.

Chelsea "floating" down the river to cool off.

A family photo op!

A new addition to the porch: a fun hammock!

The girls made Steven a crown of leaves because he said he felt like a king in the hammock on our porch as I passed him cherries and a beer.
