Picnic In Rain!!

 One of the things that has been on our to-do list, is driving up the mountains to see the aspen leaves as they change color from spring to fall. We had been admiring them from our home, and had really wanted to go see them up close.

In addition to driving up to see the leaves change, we have always wanted to hike up a trail and find a little spot tucked away in the trees and have a little picnic. 

I think in both of our imaginations we pictured a beautiful sunny day, with a gentle breeze as birds chirped in the background, however... The only day we had available turned out to be a rainy day.

Some might think, "aww its raining, lets not go" but for Samantha and I, we just took this as another chance to make some wonderful memories. So with our picnic basket in hand and our rain jackets on we headed out.

 The drive up the hill was filled with colors ranging from deep greens to bright yellows.

A long time ago I had hiked up this mountain and remembered that there was a parking spot with a nice easy trail that we could walk for just a few minutes and easily be at a nice picnic area. The picture below is the trail head.

It didn't take long for us to find a cute little spot where we set up our picnic. It was perfect, because it was right under a couple of big pine trees that helped block most of the rain. (Don't worry there was no lightning.)

 Let the picnic begin!!!

 LOOK HOW CUTE!
Samantha did a great job!

 This was out little picnic spot! 

 On the ride down, is when you could really see the colors!

After the picnic we decided to stop by Starbucks for some coffee to warm up!

This was a lot of fun!

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
