Wildflowers and a Sunday Picnic

On Sunday we decided to go for a drive and a picnic. So after church we made a scrumptious lunch, packed up the truck, and headed up the mountain to Slide Lake. Because we had such a wet winter and a late spring, things are absolutely breathtaking around here. It is greener than I remember ever seeing it and the wildflowers are just amazing. There are these yellow flowers (blossom-root) everywhere! We couldn't help to pull over and take some pictures.Here we all are enjoying our yummy picnic lunch. It was such a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoors. After we ate we walked around for a bit, picked a few wildflowers for a project I am going to work on, and let Jackson play on the top of the truck. He found this empty Root beer can and had a hay-day sucking on it and trying to get a few last drops out of it! :) And last, but not least, we drove up to our "secret huckleberry spot." So here is a picture I title "IN ANTICIPATION" (if you look closely you can see quite a few green berries on the branch). Sadly, I don't think they'll be ready until after we have moved.
