Family Pictures 2017

This past weekend we decided to go to Island Park for my birthday. This is really the first time we've taken the kids overnight somewhere without any other extended family, and it was such a blast! I'll put up a separate post full of pictures of that later, but while we were up there we took family pictures! It's always an adventure taking your own pictures, trying to get the kids to smile at a timed camera, and just trying to get half decent smiles out of them in general! I think we got some really cute ones though :) I love this little family of ours <3

~ Weekend adventuring ~

A few weeks ago we took to the hills and did some jeeping and exploring. We found an awesome like meadow area that stopped at to let the kids out and play. There were some GORGEOUS flowers around (that the boys kept picking for me :D ) and a small mud puddle right by the road. Well... you can guess what probably ended up happening HAHA

This is truly my favorite part about summers. Getting to be outside, enjoying nature with my family! Even with the random meltdowns that inevitably happen, it is so worth it to watch them learn to love the outdoors.
