Summer Time Mountain Living

Can I share something with you? Mountain living as of late has not been rough. Not that it really ever is... but with the 4th and my husband finally starting to get a day or two off a week... it has actually started to feel a bit like summer- and I love it.

On the 4th, we decided to do something we've never done the entire time we've lived out here- head out to String Lake and just chill. We've hiked around String  Lake, and biked by it- but never have we ever gone out on it. Well- that's changed now folks- because after the other day- we're going to be going a lot more now

 We brought a raft...

And then just floated- swimming, eating, basking in the sun- it was pretty dang wonderful and the perfect way to spend the 4th.

Sipping on iced coffee out of old pasta jars...

And then there were some normal days...

Driving back from the grocery store...

Spying on a deer in the front yard...

And then... we went to the Gros Ventre- one of our favorite areas up here...

Can never get enough of those red hills...

Ahhhh...

Does he know how good he has it?

The next few were all taken by my husband. He's amazing
