Paulina Creek Adventure Day!

Saturday the 14th was our final adventure day of the summer.  We loaded up the vans and headed to Pauline to explore the Peter Skene Ogden trail and the swimming hole along Paulina Creek.   The day was hot and the trails were a little bit sandy - picture riding on the beach; but the creek was "refreshing". All in all a great day - check out some pictures from the day here.
