Duck Creek: Part 4

Only one last installment after this. :)

One of the reasons we love being at Duck Creek so much is because of this...





The scenery was absolutely beautiful! It was so nice to just sit around and enjoy the mountain air and blue skies. :)

On the second day we took a drive and after driving and driving and some more driving we found this place...


The view really was breathtaking however there was a lot of husband grabbing and scolding that they absolutely would NOT be going out any further on the huge cliff. Boys, sheesh! Give us women heart attacks! 




I asked Lindsey if I could take a picture of her and her answer was, "Yes, because this is as far as I'm going!" (Love that girl!)

Family Picture, love!

Grandma & Grandpa
Joey & Keri


Kisses from Papa

See the cliff... see that look?


After much pleading the boys decided against going further out on that ledge behind David. SO glad I wasn't the only wife that was upset.


Awesome looking tree!
Sweet Colton! He's so darn cute!




We saw a lot of wildlife while out driving but for some reason the only thing I snapped a picture of was a cow. Really??? 


During our drive poor Carlie got REALLY tired. She slept for quite a while on some VERY bumpy roads.



Carlie slept in a few different positions. :) Claire & Lindsey.

I have no idea why she was making this face but I love it!

Duck Creek: Part 3

There were lots and lots of shoulder rides and piggy back rides followed by big smiles!













Abi was rubbing her chin in his hair and she sure thought it was funny. :)







Duck Creek: Part 2

This is what our little Carter family of three does at night while camping...


We make cheesy faces at the camera while snuggling in bed, per Abi's request. :)

Duck Creek: Part 1

We were lucky enough to spend a few days in this beautiful place...

We are so in love with Duck Creek! It's one of the most peaceful places. We spent 3 amazing days with David's family (minus Kim, whom we missed SO much!). We LOVED every minute! We spent time soaking  up the sun, listening to thunderstorms, snuggling in our big sleeping bag together, eating delicious food, throwing rocks in the pond, driving and driving and driving some more, hiking to beautiful sights, chasing chipmunks & squirrels, and relaxing, so much relaxing! 


Abi loved sitting in the little chairs. 


 She would beg and beg Colten to sit with her. This picture describes the situation perfectly! Haha!


We saw a lot of wildlife, deer, squirrels, birds, antelope, fish, but the coolest was seeing an owl! 


Showing Papa the owl.


The beautiful Heather and little buddy Colten. (She's so dang photogenic!)





Sweet Carlie. :)


My handsome husband! Yeah I'm lucky, I know. 


This look is code for, I think you've taken enough pictures!


My love and I.


I know this picture is on here twice but it's one of my favorites. David was sweet enough to carry the babe so I could get in my obsessive picture taking. I seriously could not get enough. The day was absolutely perfect! There will be more to follow shortly. :)
