monday August 8th






We decided it would be REALLY nice to head to the mountains again this week. this time we headed to Cascade Springs~ it was TONS of fun. Kailey/Shawn/McCoy/Paisley went we with us. we took a picnic and ej's swimsuit and headed out. it was so pretty! we walked through Cascade Springs and then we found a little creek {that was absolutely ICE cold}and let the kiddos play in it! they had a blast in the water and definitely didn't want to leave. on our way home we even saw a MOUNTAIN LION! it was crazy!!!! we came around a turn and it was standing on the side of the road. we first saw it then nate stopped the car and we got a really good look at it. we probably spent a good 15 seconds looking at each other. i could NOT believe we actually saw it. it was probably only about 20 feet from the car. nate was frantically looking for the camera but wouldn't 'cha know.... it was in the trunk :( you always forget just how close you are to these animals. i was a little freaked out thinking about it the whole way home. just glad we were in our car!  we are LOVING having nate around and FINALLY enjoying some summertime!
L-O-V-E that smile! this girl LOVES the water!
rock + splashes= Heaven!
