I am not really sure how I can make today a FUN Friday?? We have already had some great times this week. Not sure I can top them!! And the weather is calling for about a 50% chance of rain.
Maybe we will stay in and have FUN.
Maybe we will go shopping to let the boys spend their gift cards and money they received for their bday.
Tonight I am headed to a ladies retreat at our church so I do plan to have FUN there.
If you missed my post from yesterday I told about all the nice weather we have had this week. So much so we hiked on Tuesday, rode bikes all around our parks and nature trails Wednesday and yesterday Matthew and I walked to the park while Brant and Ryan rode in the car. They had fishing stuff to haul.
So today I am going to share some hiking pictures from Tuesday and tomorrow share some pictures from today. Sorry for the lack of much writing this week. It has just been too nice to sit in. And you know me when I get it out in nature......the camera starts clicking!!!! Enjoy the pictures.
Starting our hike!!!
I love seeing all the wild flowers in nature!!!
We had to have one too! It was our anniversary hike!
Almost to the lake!
We made it! And they wanted to jump in so bad.
I fell in love with this tree while on a winter hike here in January 2011. I finally got to see it in the spring. I still love it, but think in the dead of winter it is spectacular!!! You can search my blog for "Winter Hike" to check it out. I knew the minute I saw it it was the tree!
Also in the "Winter Hike" post we saw many deer tracks. And on Tuesday Brant quickly saw them again. As we walked you could hear life in the woods. But in this big area it is hard to tell what that life might be and that life moves FAST! But we did see a deer. And the boys saw it too!!! Last time they were way too short and the deer was too far away. Not this time. It even stood for about thirty seconds just staring at us. And then turned away and off she went.
It was great excitement for the boys!
And this last picture, well it screamed TEXAS to me!!!
As we were finishing up our hike I looked across a little area and all I could see were cactus and flowers. And the picture does not do justice for what we saw in person. The only reason I took it is for all you who are not familiar with Texas. This is beauty to me....the rough cactus among the pretty yellow flowers. And many other wild flowers and plants all around.
This is Texas and it is one BIG beautiful state!
Come back tomorrow for more pictures of the Great Outdoors!!!
