Hatta Happiness


We recently took 2 trips to the Hatta Pools and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We stopped first at the REAL fossil rock, and it was worth making a second trip for :) 

Owen loves rocks, and as soon as he stepped out of the car, he collected two favorites and held onto them.

Looking for treasures - Dan and Jess were the ones who led us to the REAL fossil rock!



Owen and I took a break while the others were working on making important finds.
The view
There were thousands of sea fossils, and Will (with a little help from Jess) even found a dino tooth!



On to the Hatta Pools!
The water has cut these wadis out of the rocks, making really neat designs you can see from the top. Plus, down in there in the water, it doesn't feel like 100 degrees plus:)





On this trip, our friends watched the kids while Ken and I did some swimming and exploring (yeah, our friends are stinking awesome :)
There was a little cavern you had to swim to get to and it had a beautiful waterfall spilling down into it. I thought it was so amazing to find something like this, hidden, down in the middle of a desert! 

Rocks taste better when you pick them up out of the bacteria infested water and suck on them :)
These kids crack me up :)


Everyone make a funny face!
Impromptu slip and slide!

This is the perfect way to beat the heat!
