We took these photos when we went down by our river on my birthday.  It's crazy how much its over grown just from last year.  And its kind of hard to believe it was the first time weve been down there this summer.  There was a tiny bit that was flowing enough to get in.  But Im talking like maybe sit in.  Standing its not even up to my knees.  We need some major rain.  Even after all we got for a few weeks, its still so so low.  But the grass is green and the animals are out!  We spotted those two baby deer on the way down there.  Ive been seeing lots of baby deer.  Twice Ive seen one just outside our back yard this week that is so tiny, just a few weeks old.  Its so cute.  I have yet to catch a photo of it.  I only see fleeting moments of it with its mama keeping a close eye on me.  I just love the look on its little face in this photo above!  And the look on Violet's face in the photo above it, ha ha.  She enjoyed our time down there. 

When we were there we came across the bones of about half a deer.  We went back today to collect them.  They are not quite done, still a tiny bit of soft tissue left on them, so I just left them in my woods to finish their process.  Its very rare I have come across so many parts like that.   

We found the rock that says 'this rock belongs to god' down there too.  I just thought it was funny.  I love coming across random things like that. 

In case your wandering, that rad vest was a gift from my aunt for my birthday (good taste)  and I have no idea where its from, but I love it.
