Poppies

I heard about a place in Alpine that had poppies and that it was magical. Jonathan and I had to wait until they bloomed, but it was worth it!

There weren't tons of poppies, but it was still magical! There were a lot of big, happy bees buzzing from flower to flower.

Of course, we took more pictures together!

I guess you could say things are still pretty serious!

I'm so grateful for people who find and share beautiful places to visit! I got the directions to this place from here.

Antelope Island

I've been wanting to go on more adventures with Jonathan for a while. Now that he's out of school and we don't expect to live in Utah much longer, we are really working on getting in as many adventures as we can!

Last month we went to Antelope Island. It's been awhile since we took family photos and so we got dressed up.

I'm very blessed to walk through life with Jonathan at my side.

Naturally, after we finished taking pictures I walked out into the water. It was surprisingly clear and a very comfortable temperature. I did make Jonathan touch the water so he can now say that he has touched the Great Salt Lake.

Donut Falls

Back in May, Jonathan and I hiked up to Donut Falls up Big Cottonwood Canyon. I like going up there because my great-great grandpa McMillan would hike up that canyon to cut down wood for his family. 

After we reached the falls, I went exploring on the rocks and logs. Jonathan didn't feel like joining me instead he took pictures of me climbing around.

Even with all the warm weather, there was a lot of snow and even more mud on the trail!

Naturally, we had donuts to celebrate our hike!

Firsts

I am grateful that after 5+ years of marriage, Jonathan and I still have "firsts". Earlier this month, we went on our first family camping trip.

It was not perfect, but it was still wonderful! I'll write a full post about the trip later.
