It’s Sunday , a day to reflect, be thankful, and ponder the blessings of the week.

This weekend our four girls have been away. Yesterday our son had to work, so dear hubby and I decided to take the rare opportunity to head out on the quad/atv for the afternoon.

We headed out on the nearby logging roads. It’s GORGEOUS up there.

We made a few scenic stops along the way.

First, Rhododendron Lake.

The lake has tons of Rhodo’s but they were not quite in bloom yet. We need to go back in a couple of weeks though, when they are actually in bloom. I’m sure it’s quite colorful at that time!

It was still very pretty.

We’d been trying to get to this lake for a couple of years (not often mind you, we don’t get out enough!) but the last time the trail was washed out and we had to go back. I was glad we made it this time!

It was so quiet, I had to get a video.

Next stop was Englishman River, this is a spot we’ve been to before.

It was a gorgeous day to just sit and enjoy the views.

We headed back out and found a new path to another part of Englishman River, under a bridge we’ve ridden over many times.

It was very pretty under there, and the water was fast.

Then it was time to head home after a gorgeous day out!

I’m so thankful we had the chance to enjoy our time out. It was like a mini vacation.

What are you thankful for this week?
