Santa Rosa Plateau

We have been to the Santa Rosa Plateau many, many times and we have never seen the Vernal Pools with water in them. I read in the news that they were filled so we hurried to visit before they dried up again.

They were tired already!

Michael didn't climb too high because he didn't want to get hurt because he had baseball. He's always my mature one.

Jakob and Jaileigh

both got stuck and had to be helped down.

Help MOM!

I finally had to yank him down.

and we were off again

The pools have some kind of endangered shrimp in them. I couldn't find any literature about it there so maybe they have died off?

It was nice to get out of the house. We have been quarantined because of our hand, foot and mouth disease. Blah.
