up in the mountains again


we went adventurin' in the mountains this weekend. to a high mountain lake, that took our legs up thousands of feet, up to the snowy contours around a clear small lake.

and at nighttime, we had a fire, a crackly orange miracle of a fire, and the crescent moon was beautiful.

our new tent and new sleepings were deliciously pretty and warm and oh the sleeping pads...they were a thing of glory: so comfortable and cushy.

our reward for all those miles was a real ice cream shake at O'Brady's, which looked exactly like all the old school ice cream places that I have ever been to, with laminated menus and all. I drank my chocolate malt like there was no tomorrow.
