Jeeping Buffalo Pass, late summer

  1. It's technically still summer, and warm enough for it, but it sure looks like fall around here...
  2. I had no idea Buff Pass was dirt. And rutted, rocky dirt at that. I suppose you could bring a regular car up here, but I wouldn't want to...
  3. I can't even tell you how much our rocky picnic spot reminded me of being a kid in Colorado...love that feeling of giving my kids the same outdoorsy childhood that I had...
  4. Aspen trees if you hug them are cold. The dead ones are not...
  5. I love how when the leaves fall on pine trees they look like Christmas ornaments...
  6. The leaves are nowhere near their peak...another weekend? Two? I'm not sure we'll drive here again this fall but we'll be checking out the leaves elsewhere for sure...what a beautiful drive Buff Pass is, though...highly recommended...

Grace in small things, August 7, 2016

  1. A little Jeep trip today that took us up to the trail that goes to the top of Hahn's Peak...want to hike that someday...
  2. And then a picnic by the river...so delightful...and my husband looking for cool rocks and the kids totally getting into it...
  3. Kids are so affectionate lately...loving it...
  4. Also so loving the new sun shades we have out on our deck...they help so much with the afternoon light...
  5. "Sleeping Beauty" for our Sunday night movie...it was pretty wonderful...the music is amazing...
  6. Kids making "bed angels," aka moving their arms and legs like you do with snow angels while I was doing tuck-in tonight...

XOXO
