Beach Party

 

After our hike on Sunday we grabbed some friends and headed to Golden Gardens. We didn't have a fire pit available so we cozied up to some nice people that let us share theirs. The night consisted of kites, Frisbees, hot dogs, beer, oldies tunes, and a bunch of great people huddled around a fire. One of those nights you're fine with dragging on and when you go home your whole body still feels warm for hours!

 

 

 

Sad to see our friend leave the next day but love all the time we got to spend putzing around with him. Our time was also spent singing random songs on guitar all night, hitting up breweries and late night pizza, big buck hunter, brunches, movies, Chinese food and lots of other great little moments. That's something James is excellent at, making little moments a really great time and living in them while they happen.

 

Sneaking in a Friend Hike

 

We hiked Lake Twenty Two while our friend James was in town. They day turned out to be quite beautiful, despite the threats of rain. We really like this hike because the scenery on the way up is so pretty, the intense greens, overlooks and such. Since it had snowed recently we also got showered on whenever we walked through the trees as they dripped snow onto our shoulders.

 

The lake was more beautiful blanketed in snow we thought than when we've previously hiked it. The overcast day let us see it all clearly and the contrast of the snow coating the almost black looking trees made this a great destination. Even got a little sunshine as we ate gummi bears and sandwiches.

 

 

 

I built a snowman, his name was Max.

 

 

On the way back we grabbed tacos and firewood for that night.
