Visiting Lava

We traveled to Lava yesterday to visit Jared and Carrie, Weston and Lacie and camp with them on their property at Thunder Mountain. It was a lot of fun. In the afternoon we all went swimming...along with everyone else in the world...so crowded! Then we got a bite to eat. As we were leaving the little town of Lava to go back to the property, we noticed some signs about a parade. So we stuck around (in our swimming gear...) and watched a cute little parade down Main Street. Weston and Lacie were the only little kids on the block, so they got lots and lots of candy thrown at them. I sure wish I had my camera at the parade.

I went on a long walk by myself. So rejuvenating to just be alone and take pictures to my heart's content.

The thistle was in bloom everywhere. Such a prickly weed, but so beautiful when it blooms.

A GREEN bee...

The sunset was beautiful. You can wish for clouds, but that doesn't mean you're going to get any:)
