A weekend away!

Jason and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary this last weekend! Technically it's not until this sunday but we had to be flexible now that we have a two year old =) My parent's and sister came up to our house on Friday night and we left on Saturday morning. The plan was to go backpacking but the weather forcast was not in our favor so we decided to drive to Steamboat Springs. It's about a 3.5 hour drive through beautiful country! We had a wonderful weekend full of relaxing and getting caught up since our time together lately has been short.

We walked about 1000ft. to see this waterfall and laughed because that was the most excercise we got all weekend =) Pretty funny when we were planning on backpacking several miles!

On the way to Steamboat we saw a cow moose and her baby. It was near Grand Lake and off the road quite a ways, we bushwacked our way to them in our flip flops getting soaked in the wetlands and sneaking as close as we dared. It was really fun to see them so close.

We also went to a local hot springs in Steamboat called strawberry park hot springs. It was way out there on a really bad dirt road but it was worth it! Not very crowded and with out the typical "hot springs" smell it was a real treat.

We were so greatful for my family to make this possible! And Levi did awesome! He didn't even miss us...which was kind of tough for mommy...

We've decided to do something like this every year for our anniversary! It was nice to remember the "us" from before we had a kid but it was just as nice to come home and be mommy and daddy again. I really missed my little guy but I was glad that he was having so much fun with Omi and Grandad and aunt nita
