Perfect Day for a Hike!

Jeremy and I have been enjoying the extra time together since school has ended. Today we were trying to decide what to do and decided to go hiking in the foothills. I think the place was called Hull's Gulch or something like that. Anyways, it ended up being an AMAZING day for hiking. It was around 60 degrees with a slight breeze that kept us nice and cool while hiking. And I know that I just posted a bunch on scenery pictures but seriously this hike was BEAUTIFUL! We only got to hike for a little over two hours because we both had to get to work tonight but here's some highlights of our little day trip. . .
That's Boise behind us.
I'm so glad I had my camera because I looked at the scenery around me in such a different way and found so many beautiful things! This dead tree being one of them.
Jumping for joy at what a beautiful day it was and that I was having so much fun with my hubby! Jeremy got a video clip of this experience that is pretty funny.
Against his will I made Jeremy try the heel click too and I think he secretly loved every second of it! Look at that happy little face! ;)
Just doing a little posing. The scenery makes up for any of my awkward wanna-be-model poses! haha
Snack break! These juice boxes are so tiny I always feel like that commercial where the man orders off of the kids menu and has this tiny grilled cheese sandwich, and his guy friends give him a hard time about it. I only got them because they were free with a coupon! They are YUMMY though, just don't last long.
I fell in love with all the wildflowers that were blooming!
This is the point where we turned around to hike back to the car. It was a beautiful little grove of trees! It was a refreshing change of scenery, since the rest of the hike didn't have a single tree!
I could post a million more pictures but I won't. Needless to say we had a blast talking, dreaming of our future, taking a ton of pictures, laughing, and getting some exercise together. It's been way too long since we've had this kind of quality time together. We're getting super excited for the next couple of months and getting to do fun activities with each other that we haven't been able to do in such a long time because of Jer's work schedule. If any locals want to go with us we're already planning a return hike! Come with us!
