So there goes July 2011. I have 247 photos to prove that it exsisted and that we filled it as full as we possibly could. And I have two boys sleeping past 10 am so they can catch up some much needed rest.
August sends me into a panic. "August" screams summer is over! And school is coming! Snow is just around the corner. Stop! Please, stop! I just need to enjoy the sunshine and warmth while we have it.
We did enjoy it on a gorgeous July weekend. We crossed off another adventure in our guide book. This one took our family to Canyon Creek Meadows on Three Fingered Jack.
Which now includes a dog...
Oh, yeah, thats a cast you see on his arm...fractured wrist (but that's another post) and it isn't slowing him down. He still marches to his own beat...
It was an amazing hike, starting at the area most affected by the B&B fire in 2003, where new growth is now sprouting up...
Taking us past small patches of snow
And into lush shaded forests
Finding beautiful wildflowers in bloom:
We hiked to the meadow
We intended to go further, but we met snow at the otherside of the meadow and altho we hiked another 1/2 mile on slushy, slippery snow, we decided that was far enough without boots.
Still, it was a fantastic afternoon!
And we found another hiker to take a family photo for us.
