a little escape

We headed out on a whim today to the mountains. I'm getting better at being spontaneous...especially with a four year old :) It's been so incredibly hot here, it's amazing how in just a short drive we are surrounded by cooler temperatures and beautiful, beautiful scenery! We drove up to Estes Park, one of our favorite places to visit. We walked along the river, had a picnic lunch, and put our feet in the cold river. I needed this so much today. I have 4 more days of summer vacation left and still can't believe how fast 2 1/2 months can go by. I am so grateful for this time I've had...especially being able to spend so much time with my family. These last few days you will find us soaking in every moment together before the three of us head into a new school year!
