Saturday Wilderness Fun

The weather was cooler this weekend - which was a really nice break from the heat and then the rain we have been experiencing. So, Ian suggested that we go out to the mountains on Saturday for a picnic. Luckily, its only about a 1/2 hour drive to a nice little place called Allen Pond. So we packed up all of us - and Rascal too and enjoyed the outdoors.

Olivia enjoyed looking at the Elbow River which runs into the pond and throughing rocks in too.

The area is so beautiful this is my attempt to capture it in a picture...

Then we had a nice little picnic and Olivia loved it as did Rascal because he got some extra snacks too.
A walk by the pond and it was a great day. Of course the ride home was a great nap for Olivia and Mommy. Daddy had to wait til we got home for his nap.
