Mt Charleston/Lee Canyon

Sunday afternoon we decided to escape the heat and head up to Mt. Charleston which is basically in our backyard. We left the 101 degrees and got to enjoy the mid 60 degree weather, I was even cold! We packed up some food to eat for dinner up there, took some camping chairs and a beach chair for Andrew and really had a good time.
One thing Andrew loves to do is point out the mountains whenever we are driving around so actually going to "the mountains" was a treat for him. It's so weird to live in a desert and have Mt. Charleston so close, such extremes, you'd think you were in Utah or something, well Utah is much prettier but you know what I mean.
We really enjoyed our little family outing, and its times like these that I'm never going to forget.

Here we are trying to eat, you have to love that we have my beach chair for Andrew up in the mountains!

Andrew loved jumping on tree stumps, logs, and running free and yelling as he is in this photo.

Here is my sweetheart husband/best dad ever!

Can't leave out the little girl, she was all cozy in her car seat but wanted to be part of the action, she kept making sounds, moving her blanket, and let us know that she was there.

Andy and Andrew spent the majority of the time climbing on logs, climbing "the mountain," picking pine cones, and just running around exploring. Here is Andrew trying to throw a football to his dad, he is getting better at throwing the ball but still needs some work.

This turned out to be a great Sunday activity for our family, sometimes I wish I could just freeze time and keep my babies as babies and live in this happy moment forever.
