Summer Nights

The other day was my first official day without nausea. I definitely wanted to take advantage of it, considering the past month has consisted of my bed and netflix. Don't get me wrong, its definitely worth it in the end, but I have been going a bit stir crazy in this house of ours. We spent the evening hiking up one of our most favorite places, Big Springs. It was a blast, just like always. 

As we were taking a rest, three dogs came sprinting up the trail to us, without an owner. I was freaked out, who knew if there were friendly or going to attack. Chad quickly picked up Bruno and I tried to push away the dogs. The owner came up a few seconds later and said the dogs were really friendly. We let Bruno down and he had the time of his life running around with his new friends. T'was a great night.

Battle Creek Falls and Big Springs

Since the weather is quickly turning, Chad and I have been trying to do as much stuff outside as we can. We got up early Saturday morning and took Bruno on a hike up Battle Creek Falls in Pleasant Grove Canyon. Normally we stop at the falls, but since it was such a nice morning, we decided to keep going. Because of all the rain, the trail slowly disappeared so we weren't able to go that far, but it was so fun to be up there. It's such a beautiful hike!

A couple days later we headed up Big Springs, one of our favorite hikes. It is easy for Bruno, plus with the leaves changing, it's so pretty! We took a different trail and found a perfect spot by the river to sit and relax. We ended up sitting there for about an hour talking about life, goals and all the good stuff :) I am so grateful for our little family. Life is so good!!

Big Springs

For our Friday night date, we decided to go hiking up Big Springs in Provo Canyon. We started the hike on the trail then eventually wandered off the trail and made our own path. That always makes hiking more adventurous. Bruno enjoyed playing fetch through the large weeds and drinking out of the river. I'm pretty sure I told Chad at least 20 times how much I love being up in the mountains. It's so peaceful and relaxing, it was a perfect night :)

 

Big Springs

Chad and I love hiking. It's so much better than going to the gym and walking on the treadmill. Plus, it's a better workout too! This last week we decided to go hiking up Big Springs. It's a beautiful hike up South Fork Canyon. Surprisingly, we were the only ones up there. It was nice to have the trail to ourselves!
