Silver Lake Sunday

It's been so hot this summer. I love that we live so close to the mountains - we can head up to Silver Lake and be 10-15 degrees cooler in 30 minutes!

Max and Steve took naps after church last Sunday, so Piper & I drove up to Silver Lake.




We ventured off the boardwalk, since Max wasn't with us, and took a little more 'hike-y" trail.


The wildflowers are out in full bloom.



Butterflies were everywhere.

And check out these kissing chipmunks!


Lots of blue dragonflies, too.

Piper was especially happy that Max wasn't with us, so she could spend so much time climbing the big rock! Usually Max is either too impatient in the stroller to just sit and watch, or he's on the leash and and never going to just stand still waiting for his sister!

so much fun, i totally understand what you mean. my girls had four days in arkansas without us until we met them there. their aunt and uncle brought them hiking and to waterfalls, i was sad i didnt get to go with them but i figured if we were with them we wouldnt have gone bc william would have tried to jump from the cliff. so happy they had the chance to experience the beauty though
