The Great Outdoors!

I am trying to catch up, we have been enjoying the great outdoors this summer. This is another one of our hikes up to Bloomington Lake! I love it up there it is so pretty. We packed a lunch and enjoyed the scenery and the fish swimming around in the lake.

There was still a lot of snow up there for July!

My tree lovers!!!

Then Me and the kids, along with Vickie and Tammy tackled the Juniper Trail hike. The web site said it was only about 8 miles, but it turned out to be 12.6 miles. On a very hot day, up hill most the way. Lets see, it was said a few times "we came all this way to see a dead tree". There is still some green on it and it is growing out of a rock! We needed more water, but so glad we did it. It was like we were on top of the world.

This tree is Big!!!

Catching our breath!!!
