Cathedral Hills

So Nate survived inventory - thank goodness -

and this last weekend, he finally had Saturday AND Sunday off!

On Saturday, we went to the Farmers Market 

and then spent a little time cleaning up the back 'yard' -

and on Sunday, we decided we wanted to do some exploring,

and at the suggestions of some locals we ended up hiking at Cathedral Hills!

It was a BEAUTIFUL hike and we ended up being out for about 3 hours!

We met some lovely families on the trail and it was nice to chat with them

about other things to do in the area! 

Anyway, here are some pics (ok, there are more than 'some')

so that you can see just how beautiful was!!

We were SO intrigued by this next flower! 

The petals were two different shades of purples, 

and they were EVERYWHERE!

Nate's keen eye caught this beautiful flower in between all the trees -

I handed him the camera and I am so in love with this shot!

So sorry about the picture overload!

It was just TOO gorgeous and I'm so glad 

we brought the camera with us!

We had such a lovely time and we were so glad

that we finally had time to get up into the mountains!!
