Before you knew it we were roasting poppers, stuffed mushrooms, corn, and hotdogs over the fire. You know that silly little saying about smoke following beauty? I think we heard some form of it about 30 times. It was smoky and gritty and so amazing in every way to have all of us there together.
We treasure these times more as our children get older. Douglas is going to school and working. He is very busy. We know that will only increase as he gets older. It makes these moments precious and important.

Today felt like a precious day that almost slipped by without us taking full advantage of it.
Time for a Sun Flare lesson for Casper! |
Later in the day, after Douglas went to work, we loaded up and went back to our favorite spot at Cold Springs.

What a way to wrap up the summer!
