Last Sunday we went for a hike up Stowe Pinnacle, which is a nice short hike (45 mins to the top) with a super nice view. Because it was Sunday, we decided to make it a little more special...
...so we had a picnic dinner at the top! Ham sandwiches, cold lemonade in a thermos, and chocolate cookies never tasted SO good. By the way, it's not as steep as it looks in the picture, lest you fear that Ibs is about to fall over the edge. :)
A windblown yours truly. :)
And now here are a few highlights from the past weeks --- Finding the first red & yellow leaves (are we already into that season??)
- Harvesting the first tomato from our garden
- Eating lots and lots and lots of peppers from said garden
- Becoming a die-hard fan of hiking barefoot... it is incredible!!
- Going for a barefoot hike with the sibs today... and getting caught in a wild thunderstorm that thoroughly drenched us from head to foot
- Enjoying two fabulous weekends with Curtis home from rotations
- Savoring an amazing chocolate milkshake made by Ike - very similar to a Wendy's frosty only even more amazing :)
- Getting convicted and re-convicted by daily readings in Oswald Chambers
- Celebrating my birthday, and loving the new black-and-tan dress given to me by sweet siblings!
- Making the first batch of coffee in my new French press (another birthday gift)
... and lots, lots more. August has already been a great month, and I am looking forward to many exciting things ahead! :)
