Bright

Last week we took a vacation up to Bright. It's a beautiful, quaint little mountain town and because we are going into Autumn, the weather and scenery were gorgeous. We had a really great time together! It's about a 3.5 hour drive and all three girls did so well in the car - we were so proud of them. Anyhow, here's our week in photos. Enjoy!

Just oustide the log cabin we rented for the week.

The family room of our log cabin. We loved, loved the wood fire place. It was so cozy during the cold nights!

We took a family drive to the very top of the mountains. We hiked around and the girls loved all of the nature and getting dirty :)

Photobucket Haylee was so adorable. She said to me, "Mommy, I take off my shoes. My feet wanna feel the rock." Okay Haylee.

It was COLD up there and her little tosies were little pieces of ice. She didn't even notice.

After we showed Gracie & Haylee what fun a pile of leaves can be, they didn't stop!

Our home for the week. Oh, it was beautiful! The river ran along just off to the side of it. Perfect for fishing.

It's so crazy to me that the seasons are opposite of ours in Australia! Cute pictures. That looks like a great get away spot. Log cabins are so much fun! Olivia has the same jacket as Grace and Haylee :) I love it!
