sunday picnic in the mountains

sunday was a beautiful day... sunny and warm... so we decided to drive up into the mountains for a picnic lunch. jen made egg salad, pb and j, and ham and cheese sandwiches... each with it's own little individual toothpicks. it was super cute how proud she was! the drive up to the mountains only takes about 15 minutes and in that short time (and distance) the temperature drops quiet a bit as you gain alot of altitude driving up. along the way tons of other people with the same idea were pulled over on the side of the road... many of them cooking shaslik with their portable coal burning grills.

we found a nice little spot underneath a tree in a pasture with great views of the foothills right below ala-archa. even got a little bit of rain which made for a nice adventure hiding under the blanket together.
