The Great Outdoors

We had a wonderful weekend full of being outside, which I think is the best kind of weekend. The weather has been so mild lately, I am totally lovin' it. The drive up to Cascade Springs was BEAUTIFUL! I had to stop and take pictures, so I would remember. So green and really awesome with the glacier in the backdrop.Here's Lilly waiting for our new friends to meet up with us at Cascade Springs. We are now part of a Mommy and kid hiking group! I am totally stoked to get to hike with other Mom's who love the outdoors as much as I do. Thank's Carlie for inviting us.
The Springs was really nice, Lilly loved that it had "Little waterfalls, just like me!"Sunday night we went dutch oven cooking with my family for my sister's birthday. It was a total blast and it only sprinkled for about 10 minutes, the rest of the night the weather was perfect. Lilly loves her cousin Kaelyn.I let my sister, Angie, play with my camera and she snapped this shot of Lilly and I at the creek. Nice shot, Ang. :) Friday Lilly and I met up with my friend Jeanne and her two (very cute, nice kids) and ventured up to Bridal Veil falls. The water was soooooooo cold! It took a good 30 minutes for my feet to thaw :)Lilly splashing around at the base of the falls.Lilly and I are so excited to be able to make new friends and get to get out and play with them. This weekend really has been a blessing to me. I've been pretty down lately knowing that a lot of our friends graduated and are moving away soon. So to be able to meet new people with common interests has been wonderful. I was pretty nervous to meet up with 'Strangers' at cascade falls for the mommy hiking group, but was so glad that I did. Yay, for new friends and yay for my family, and yay for the great outdoors to bring us all together.

I am so glad that you came Amanda! It was great meeting you. It's funny that I felt like I already knew you though, just from blogging. :) I look forward to getting to know you & Lilly better!
