Friday fun with little Miss Madeline Rose!

Okay, I admit, not the best picture of Madeline... BUT, we did have a good morning! Madeline has a late school start every Friday morning, so we try to do something fun with her. Last Friday we went to a little bakery near the plaza and ate some delicious treats! :-) The bakery treats were good, but the company was the best part.

My sweet baby girls!

These girls are growing up tooooooooo fast!

Oredson-Todd Woods

These hiking trails have become some of my very favorite here in Ashland. There is something almost magical about the trees, the plants, and the little babbling stream. Harper and I decided to go hiking here today, despite that fact that is has been raining here in Ashland... we got about 1.75 inches in the last 24 hours. I am SO glad we did. We had a little break from the rain this morning so we went for our little 3 mile hike through the woods. I can't even begin to describe how incredibly beautiful it was today after the rain. The smell, the sights, the sounds... I'm telling you, this is not something I can describe.. it's something you have to experience yourself!

The rain has arrived!

My little Haper waiting so patiently to run, run, run!

The view from the top! It's gorgeous!


The blur in the bottom of the photo is my little Harper leaping over the creek! She has SO much energy!

I see these signs posted all over the place towards the top of the mountain.. I have to admit, it does scare me a bit! Hopefully my brave puppy would be by my side if we ever encountered one!

Grizzly Peak hike! 5.5 miles of fun!

It was a really smokey day today, so the view is hindered a bit by the smoke. The picture of Chris and I is just a result of a bad phone camera. :-) What a great hike though! I can't wait to go again!
