I love my state......

….and it's many beautiful surroundings.  And this place where we picnicked is 5 minutes from our house.

Chad's sister Kerry is here visiting from Belize along with her son Charlie.  The are used to the ocean and sandy beaches, but not mountain streams.

The water level is low, the snowmelt is finished and it has been hot.  We would love some rain.

My dear husband relaxing and enjoying some quit time with his reading.

All of the different shades of green.

Located directly by our picnic spot.  Granite!

A nearby cave.

The perfect ending to a perfect evening...….s'mores.
