Sunday Funday! Granite Falls Hike :)

I ran into a fellow outdoorsy gal at Rosita's the other day and we hastily put together a plan for an outing this weekend! Thank goodness! I couldn't have picked a nicer day to go on an adventure! We just went to the falls because we had some chores to do today too, but the trail looked like it's probably clear all the way to the lake!

Granite Falls - they're rippin' right now!

Nature's cooler!

Who needs lunch when you have Rainers!?

There were LOTS of colorful flutterbies

out in the sun today! 

BIG avalanche! That's snow under all that debris!

 

Loki the Dawg REALLLLLLY wants to

play fetch!!

Georgia On My Mind

I went to Augusta, GA to see Old Crow Medicine Show at a bluegrass festival/BBQ cook off!! It was great fun and definitely one of the BEST shows I've ever seen! It was a quick trip and I didn't take many photos. I was too busy having fun at the festival to take pictures, but on Sunday, we went to a state park called Stone Mountain, which was kind of silly, but the stone 'mountain' is a 1,000 ft. hunk of granite sticking up out of the ground! It's a pretty amazing sight! Those are the only pictures I took. If you want to see what OCMS looks or sounds like, Google em. :)

Don't take everything for granite!

(I had to . . . )

The only souvenir I brought home from Georgia.

Now I'm peeling. It's the gift that keeps on giving!

Happy Turtles!

I've been seeing a lot of these little buggers! They're hard to get a photo of though because the second they hear you they plop off their perch and back into the water!

Spring Skiing at Theriault Pass!

I got to tag along with Julie, my AWESOME tour guide, and her side kick/neighbor, Charlie, for a super sweet May ski! It was such a perfect day!

The Happy Crew

We skinned up to that saddle in the middle
on the right hand side of the trees.

There goes Charlie!

Old snow slide and blue skies

Lovin' the scenery

Apre Ski of the finest selection. :)

Such a beautiful phenomenon!

Just after a crazy rainstorm in Troy yesterday, we had to take a break from the hockey game to go check out this beauty!

Beautiful double rainbow. Best I've ever seen. :)

Redneck Entertainment

Only in Smalltown, Montana do large groups of people gather to barbeque hot dogs, drink beer, and watch the fire department practice burn down a building.

The progression of the fire.

Top Ta Dawg Relay!

This year's Top to Red Dog Relay race had an incredible turnout! It was fantastic to see so many teams and so many people psyched about the race!

 Team Powder Palace! 

There's a lot of wind resistance with those size 3XL team uniforms!

 The full ensemble - pink socks and all!
