the mountains, especially highlands, has become such a haven for our family. things slow down a bit, as much as they can with 3 little ones; and there's nothing like that mountain air. it's a bit ironic because the mountains seem to be a place where we all fall apart: paul busted his front two teeth out climbing a mountain when he was 16, paul had his appendix out right after i drove at lightening speed back from the mountains, i had pretty major life saving surgery 3 years ago in the mountains, audrey kate has been to the ER down the mountain, and we left with two pretty sick little girls after thanksgiving.
but now that my aunt and paul's mom are in the mountains, the main reason we love to go is who is there!
my aunt has always been like another mother to me. she's always treated me like a daughter and loves our girls like granddaughters; and they love her!
one of the most beautiful spots near highlands is dry falls. the steps down to it and trail around it have just recently been redone.
but the falls are still the same; and they're stunning.
especially as the sun peaks through the trees.
