the weekend.....

Hooray!

The weekend is finally here......we are ready :)

Have a Beautiful Safe Holiday Weekend :)

a bike ride......

It doesn't happen very often but I talked Dan into taking a few hours off work Tuesday for a much needed bike ride.

We have a bike trail that's just a few minutes from our house and goes at least 80 miles south---they keep adding to it. We biked for an hour or so and then headed back home in time to get Jake from school.

Jake spotted my photos on my phone and wasn't too happy we snuck away without him.

Speaking of phones......all of these photos were taken with my new phone. A very nice Samsung Droid Charge camera phone.....and it was FREE. I'm loving that. We chose this phone not only because it was free, with great reviews but it has a really nice 8.0 MP camera.....and I'm all about that. I'm not too much of a phone or texting gal. It will be nice not having to drag my clunky camera on all of our adventures.

That evening we headed to the baseball field for Jake's practice. Of course I wanted him to be a Yankee...but the Indians will do just fine. Dan grabbed #2 for his jersey---Jeter you know.

See you soon.......

Snow Basin Trail

Last weekend we headed to the Snow Basin trail.......

Getting inspiration for our river rock beds......

I love this log bridge......maybe Dan will make me one?

Sorry Dan, but rules are rules.........

tough guy.......

Just love the name......

Still lots of snow on the mountain but not for long.....



Happy Trails!

Fire Pits and Marshmallows

Our Fire Pit area is starting to come along.......

Last weekend we roasted marshmallows and made yummy smores. We found these Gi-normous Marshmallows at Walmart---Dan and Jake are in love! I'm not a huge marshmallow fan-I just love roasting them and the melted chocolate is always a good thing :)

We used an old firepit with stand, removed the legs and buried it. Dan added bricks to form the firepit and added sand in between. Add yourself some sticks and fire wood for a lovely little firepit :)

We are adding trees and bushes around our firepit for a woodsy feel. I'm not much of a camping gal but love the idea of sitting around the campfire. Jake is so excited because we told him we would put the tent up this week.

Maisey wasn't really sure what to think about the fire, she just wanted to stay close by her dad....so cute.

Have a sweet week!

 

Good life.....
