i heart faces-scenic black and white

 Every summer we travel with my husband's family to beautiful Mammoth Lakes, California. We always have a wonderful time, but my favorite part of each year is when we discover someplace new and equally breathtaking, another hidden treasure that our beautiful Earth has to offer! This afternoon, while on a day trip to Yosemite, we happened upon this spectacular sight. The usual Yosemite haunts were all extremely crowded and so we kept driving further into the park. ZZ looked out the window and saw this HUGE rock, and said, "Let's climb that!". My father-in-law, who never passes up the opportunity for a new adventure, thought it was a perfect idea. Thankfully the climb to the top was relatively easy, and even our littlest man made it up without a hitch! And WOW, the view from the peak was more than amazing! I feel so grateful that my kiddos have had so many opportunities to experience nature and the outdoors.

i heart faces~orange

iheartfaces_orange



That sure is a funny-looking pumpkin! The theme this week at I Heart Faces (www.iheartfaces.com)  is ORANGE. For the first time in one of these challenges I knew exactly what image I wanted to use! My little guy's church preschool hosts the biggest pumpkin patch around. He had so much fun there, but the best part was that he blended right in! He is the only red head in our family since his great-grandmothers so needless to say he gets lots of attention for that head of hair!
