We love "our mountains," as Grayson refers to them. It had been awhile since we'd breathed in that fresh mountain air, so for Mother's Day weekend, we decided to head for the hills Friday evening. For fun, we decided to take the Jeep - which makes for a snug and cozy ride. Abi gets the brunt of that deal.
It was a dark, starry night when we arrived, but on Saturday morning we were welcomed with the beautiful spring backdrop that I just love - the beginning of my favorite time of the year in the mountains.
Such fun, enjoying the giant playground - the forests and mountains around our cabins.
It's great to be back!
We took a nice, long hike. The boys are big enough now to where we can wander and roam without having to tote them in strollers or the wagon.
They had hopes of catching some butterflies, but we didn't see any on Saturday.
We saw lots of elk and deer prints, as well as some wild turkey tracks.
Climbing rocks, enjoying the magnificent view
Feeling the textures all around us

Lots to see - big & small
The boys love climbing on Whale Rock.
The loves of my life.
I'm one happy Mommy, so very blessed.

So much to explore....
Our little rock hounds, searching for special stones.
Back home after a wonderful weekend, daffodils the boys picked for me brighten up our home and remind us of our fun weekend in the mountains.
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there!
