It was a short distance round-trip but a great hike on a hot summer day to Grotto Falls with Bethany, Jonas and Lyla Cate.  Lyla did great walking the entire way!  The water around the falls was nice and cold and perfect for wading.  We saw 3 salamanders while eating our lunch and playing on the rocks.
