A Fun Trip to the Foothills

Friday night we decided to take a little drive into the foothills. We were going to go for a little hike and let the girls pick some wildflowers. This is what the sky looked like when we got up there! The showers were on their way, so we had a short, hurried hike.

This is the ski resort that’s up in the mountains. My first time skiing was here and Aaron took me all the way to the top by those towers! At the grouping of trees just near the top to the left of the big open space, I sat down and cried! I was so stinking scared!! It was at night too, almost closing time and I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it down the mountain and we’d be stuck up there! Finally Aaron talked me into trying to go down, I think it took me about 45 minutes to get to the bottom! And the top layer was pure ice… no powder that night! When we got down, we found out that the trail was a black diamond! Crap! I went down that thing! Needless to say, I stick to the bunny hill now!

The girls had so much fun picking wildflowers!

On our way down, we came across these cows that were leisurely walking across the road. They didn’t really give a hoot that we were there!

The was the prettiest little part of the forest! It was raining and the sun was peeking through the clouds. Ah! Just so pretty!!
