2010 memories

I know this post is a bit out of season however, one of my many projects for the new year is to get caught up with my blog and I loved these pics so I decided to start here.  This post is from a camping trip we took this past August in the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho with the cousins.

I love that I can look at this picture and be taken back to... the windows rolled down, hot summers air hitting my skin and some country song blaring in the background.

    

the contrast of the blue summers sky against the dirty brown cliffs was intriguing.....you'll just have to use your imagination:)

                    Here we are at a rest stop and Tuesday and Jonah found a butterfly in the parking lot.

Beautiful butterfly...Darling children

                           

    Summer vacations are definitely near the top of my list of favorite things to do.  This was one of those trips we were able to let loose and be care free (if not for a few days) and remember what it's like to be silly and in love.

 This truly had to be one of the dirtiest camp sites I have ever been to. The dirt was so fine that a one simple walk from ones camp chair to the tent and you were covered. Se la vi

...may they always remember the joys of childhood

We headed down the canyon from our camp site and found this little stream for the kids to play in. While they were pre-occupied with catching tadpoles we kicked back and cracked open our book.

                                                            check out the concentration:)

After a successful camping trip we were homeward bound with great anticipation for a hot shower (at least the adults were). On the way we passed this train and I loved the graffiti

     And I am spent!!!  but it's all worth it; to be able to reflect on fond memories in times past.
