Taking advantage of a GORGEOUS day!

The last couple of days were RAINY and WINDY, so when we woke up to beautiful, blue skies we decided to take FULL ADVANTAGE to go EXPLORING!  We have driven by Luck Lake a few times, but have never stopped to explore, so we figured it would be a GREAT time to do so!  Well, the intentions were good, but the roads were NOT...we could only make it about 3 miles up the road, so we stopped and got out to explore where we were.  I took over 100 pictures, but was able to narrow it down to the following 40-ish...ENJOY!!!

The drive

Beginning the "hike"

I love how the sun is shining through the trees

Such cute kids!

Hunter MAY be stuck!!!

This is a sheet of ice that has fractures in it...Hunter thought it was so cool!

ummmmm....pine needles...

.....more pine needles

"Strike a pose"

The view...love the fog rolling in

A peek at the ocean

A BETTER peek at the ocean

I LOVE the tug boats!!!

It still amazes me that I LIVE here!  Never thought I would be so intrigued by the ocean, but I LOVE it!

Boozer had the lead, until his EARS got in the way!

Kaiden is letting the men-folk KNOW how it is!

A little tired after the race....YES, I am talking about the doggies!

Oaklee....she's just so dang cute!

I LOVE all the different nature elements here...the kids just HAD to hike up to this tree stump.

The sun starting to set...wish I knew how to  use my camera a little better.

The fog coming off of Luck Lake...isn't it GORGEOUS?!?!?!?

Kaiden....
