the magic of the mountains

Just in for a few days between vacations... Lake City was as fabulous as ever. I forget how much I love being in the mountains, actually. Some old family friends offered their guest house as living quarters for us for the week (the cabin with the whole Gentry fam wasn't equipped for three couples and a baby), which was fantastic! Our week was full of fishing and great food and fantastic company. Burke even fell in the river and seems to have recovered just fine.

this was taken right after burke took a little tumble into the stream... he was so muddy that we had to dip him back in the river so that we could remove the layer of muddy filth from his head

burke's getup for the week (see that little hand reaching around)... we make a good hiking team

the nettleton's house and our guest quarters... we're so thankful that they had some space for us to stay!

this the only picture I have of our whole crew- Mark and Evette, Aaron and Leslie, us, and our friends the Cairns' and Smiths (I know, I know, my eyes are closed)

ice cream at the soda shop- glory!
