Saturday on the Mountain

It was an absolutely beautiful day here today and we decided we couldn’t spend it indoors. We packed up our stuff and headed up the mountain for a day of relaxation and a little bouldering. This was a new area for us and not that great as far as bouldering goes, but it was so nice under a clear blue sky and the warm rays of the sun so we weren’t complaining. The boys loved it and threw rocks and sticks the whole time – William even hit Henry in the head with one of his stones. Woops! We are enjoying this gorgeous weather while we can…May will be here before we know it and bring the unbearable heat. Thank goodness we are in a place we love and will be able to better endure it.
