For the holiday week we chose to go with some close friends of ours to a place that we found by chance this time last year. It is a beautiful spot that you can only get to by dirt road. Once you drive down a mountain and into the valley there is nothing to be seen but rolling hills and more mountains. We have learned that for the people here the best places are near a stream and surrounded by trees. When we previously went to this spot we weren't near either of those things (although it DID have a waterfall that you could see in the distance). We thought we remembered a place that might work to meet all of our needs, so we set out for the 45 minute drive from our house to this spot. When we got there we really lucked out! Where we thought we remembered a small grove of trees, not only were there trees, but a stream! So after parking and rolling out a mat onto the grass we immediately put our watermelon into the stream to chill (a popular practice here).

Green is starting to burst out everywhere!
This should be a picture for an American car commercial...the truck is a Ford and our Chevy is on the right:-)
We ate delicious food, talked, and even did some hiking. Zeke absolutely loves these times and Ethan is starting to really get into it. We were very tired by the end of it all, but it was a day well spent. I will include a video below that shows you the road we drove in on (the spot shown is past where we were picnicking since we were in an adventurous mood). Expect more posts to come on picnics and beautiful scenery!

That video is so cool - but you look so close to the edge! Reminds me of times Dad drove on some of those twisty roads in the mountains with no guardrails :)
