4th of July Weekend

For the 4th last weekend we escaped the crazy heat wave we've been having, and went camping. I forgot to bring my camera the first day we were there, but snagged some good pictures the second day.
I make it through the second camping trip with the crazy sleeping baby.


It was a fun filled weekend with horse rides, talking, reading, tanning, and getting caught in a big rain storm. It was a great weekend.

Good work Mother Nature

Jake and I went up the canyon the other night after a rainstorm looking for elk for his hunt coming up. He is such a gem and stopped the truck anytime I gasped thinking I needed to take a picture right then! And a big huge thanks to Lex for teaching her "shooting in manual" class, my pictures have changed, and I feel like I finally have control of my camera! Yay!

But seriously, the mountains are amazing after it rains! I really was just in awe over the beauty and the colors. I am so giddy about all the leaves changing color, and the weather turning cooler. Fall could quite possibly be my favorite season! Bring on the boots and sweaters!
