This past Sunday the natives were restless and needed to get out of the house.
Pronto.
We set out for a stroll in mother nature’s mountain paradise.
Tired of being cooped up this one was ready for the fresh air.
Ever tried to breathe normally with your head out the window?
Doesn’t work.
Believe me.
He tried.
This guy crossed our path and made us all squeal.
Get a boy out of the house and he becomes a different person.
So much to see, so much to smell, so many different nature-y noises.
Oye. My back was tired at the end of the stroll. But I secretly loved the long, downhill cuddle.
“What a beautiful world!“
This one has a tendency of getting himself in some sticky situations.
Throwing rocks in a stream never gets old.
I never would have believed I could feel so much love for three little men.
But I do.
Thanks Mother Nature. You never fail to disappoint.
We’ll be back.

LOVE the photos! It is always so nice to get out of the house and out into nature. Something that I need to do more often!
That second photo is priceless! and the little hands picking up pebbles! ADORABLE. Cannot wait for my little man to get a little older so that he can explore!

Looks like a great day! Love the photo in the side view mirror – so fun! I think boys are at their best when they get to explore nature. 🙂

You don’t seem like a mom w/ a son w/ a Mohawk type. Can’t wait to see the play house! Love! I see free wooden playhouses on KSL.com all the time. Rehab?
Michelle Hinckley says
I know, right? That Mohawk thing was all the husband’s doing. It’s gone on Saturday! I’m checking out the playhouse thing now! Thanks for the tip!

The photos you took are amazing. Love the live action shot with the deer!
Michelle Hinckley says
I know…wasn’t that deer so neat. We were so excited to see it up close and personal. Thank you for the nice compliment!
Jennifer says
What hike did you go on? That looks amazing.
