Beauty!!

I know I gush about how beautiful it is here, but it really is. Maybe it's just since it's so different from where I've lived before, but it really is beautiful. I love the mountains in Utah - they are so majestic and beautiful - but it's not exactly green there. :) And I thought California was pretty - and it definitely is - but everything here is SO NATURALLY GREEN! My parents have a Garden of Eden backyard in CA but, you know, they water it a lot. :) Here it's just green on its own! Everywhere! Sprinklers? Psh, never heard of them. I love it.

Anyway, Eli's been a little under the weather, so we've been cooped up all week and we were both going crazy. So I decided to take the boys to the park this morning. It had rained in the wee hours in the morning, so I didn't think anyone would be there - and I was right. We had it all to ourselves. It was beautiful. I brought a towel to wipe down the playground equipment and after Eli played for awhile (and I took a gazillion pictures) we went on a short walk (where I took another gazillion pictures) and then headed home. I'll definitely be going back to that trail though because holy cow! It was gorgeous. I didn't have good shoes on for a real trek, so we'll go another day.

The leaves are starting to change so I wanted to get a bunch of pictures of all the green before they all changed. I'll have to take a lot more in a few weeks when they are really changing because that will be beautiful too, I'm sure. Sorry for the intense picture dump, but I couldn't decide what to leave out. Enjoy. :)

PS-Jeremy is surviving midterms this week! Yes, midterms already. He had one yesterday that he ACED and then he had 2 today (no results yet) and has one tomorrow. Go husband!

Beautiful, beautiful! Now I am sad that I turned in my ticket for next month... Oh well, I'll come in the spring. And "thumbs up" to your PS! Go husband! Love you!

This makes me miss our walks! Although it's much more green there! :)

Yep, it's beautiful! That looks like a really fun playground for the kids, and what a pretty park.

You are going to LOVE the fall! I'm really going to miss the fall season here!

Oh it is so beautiful! What great pictures. That looks like a great park. I love the rubbery stuff instead of bark. My kids always hate it when bark gets in their shoes. Wish we could have gone to the park with you!

Seeing all of the beautiful, natural green in your pictures reminded me of a comment that Jeff used to make when we lived in Baltimore. "It's the perfect climate - if you're a plant!"
