After all of our friends went home, it was time for our annual family vacation time. We started off by going to the museum:
They always have a craft for the kids.
This year it was so much fun because Ryder's reading was phenomenal. Watching him go through the exhibits with Eden and do the scavenger hunt was so special to watch.
Every evening we would go on a walk to see if we could find any deer. it was so relaxing...
We spent an entire day on an adventure to the Mono Hots Springs. Kit has wanted to go for several years now and it was worth the drive to get there.
The views alone are incredibly breathtaking:
A cabin in the rock...
It's an hour drive so we got there and had lunch before we did any hikes or hot springs:
Burgers and buffalo chili for the win!
This little spot was so picturesque:
One of the Hot springs was called "Little Eden". She was absolutely tickled that it had her name...
First we hiked to Doris lake and swam:
Then we headed to the Little Eden Hot Spring:
This hot spring is surrounded by wild flowers on the top of this hill that over looks the Sierras...
It was warm as bath water but still felt refreshing for the warm day that we had...
After the hiking, there was more fishing.
Watching them together is one of my all time favorite things...
The entire day was magical...❤︎
The next day, Kit and Ryder left early to fish in one of their favorite spots:
This kid...
Then when they got back to the cabin, we headed back to Dinkey Creek to swim:
And of course to do more fishing...
I always hate when this time has to come to an end...
We are so thankful for the time that we are able to be away as a family. It is such a gift and I am incredibly grateful for the memories that this time allows for us to make together. Until next time!
