Garnets?

We are going garnet hunting today! Kaia is very excited. I am too, but also a bit trepidatious. There's a 1/2 mile hike into the area, and then very little accommodations. There is an outhouse--if there were no bathroom, I wouldn't go. Hopefully it won't be too hot today, either.

I packed us a lunch, and plenty of water. I am bringing my camera, but not sure if I'll be clean enough to use it!

I'm being negative. I know I will end up enjoying myself, and it's nice spending time with Kaia, and Andrea's family. I hope we get some garnets, so the kids (and my mom!) aren't too disappointed!
