This past weekend, we went to Eric's parents' in the mountains. They bought a 2nd home there and have spent the summer remodeling and getting it ready for visitors. It's such a peaceful place - surrounded on three sides by mountains. The front yard has a rushing river running through it (E's favorite place - which gives me a heart attack!)
O's favorite thing is riding in the back of her pappaw's truck to the top of the mountain. They ride up, look around and ride back down only to hear her begging to do it again. We cannot understand the fascination.
Here she is in the back of the truck once we reached the top of the mountain. Let me say something about this pose - I don't get it. What is she doing? This is how she poses in most pictures. Has she been listening to hip hop? Is she expressing some attitude? I don't understand it.
E loves flowers. Over the weekend, I believe she picked every flower on the side of the mountain and brought it to me. It was all very sweet until Saturday morning when I was in a deep.deep.dreamy.sleep and I heard, "Mom! I picked this flower for you!"What? Where am I? Who are you? Who let you in here?
Here we are at the top of the mountain when she picked the first flower. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the last time she gave me one ... I think we're all better off for not documenting that :)
Is it just me or is she not the most beautiful girl you've ever seen? Seriously, I love this girl!
We could hardly keep E out of the river. She wanted to cross it so badly. She's a little afraid of most things, but was determined to try. She did make it and fell in completely in the end. I thought she would cry, but she laughed it off. Yay - we're maturing.
We went hiking Saturday morning and saw the most beautiful waterfalls and scenery. I'll try to post those pictures later (when I have an extra couple of hours), but I do have this one.
Again with the pose. What on earth?
