The past several days here have been "rather warm." My new mantra is that I will not complain about the heat because Eric will soon be in a place where the forecast is 122 degrees. On Sunday evening we were getting a little warm in our house and Sophie needed a distraction from teething so we decided to take a little drive. We took the Hilgard exit and drove up a long the river and found the cutest little picnic and campground area called Red Bridge. I had been there once in college but it had been a long time ago. It was beautiful up there! It was 10 degrees cooler than here and we saw deer, elk, and a cottontail rabbit on our trip (not to mention a snake by the river...yuck!). The picnic area/campground is right by the river. We weren't sure if she would want to get in the water because earlier in the day she was not a fan of the cold water in her pool. However, the river was surprisingly warmer than her pool and it had rocks....which Sophie LOVES playing with and throwing! She spent at least 30 or 40 minutes sitting in the water and playing with the rocks.
We had a wonderful summer evening up by the river. I think I have Eric convinced to let us go on a one night camping trip up there while Audri is here visiting this next week!
