Trip to Rocky Mountain National Park

On Memorial Day we had the chance to go and visit Rocky Mountain National Park. It was spectacular! The kids were great. What a wonderful experience it has been to live in Denver for a year. Speaking of that, we move in just a few days. Here we come Olympia!

By far, Alex's favorite part of our hike was the snow on the ground. He enjoyed skating down the snow for quite awhile.
Zack and his kids with a beautiful view. They love their dad!

The Queens of the Mountain!

Our only family shot this year. Not bad, only two people not smiling...This is why we gave up on professional photographs years ago.

Ash and Mom got to hike by ourselves for awhile. Ashley really enjoyed watching the ducks on the lake.

Amber enjoyed skating down the hillside on the snow with Alex.

What a view! We got up pretty high... I think it was 12000 feet.

Amber girl and the mountains. Two of my favorite men.

What a happy kid. All you need is a little snow, a lot of time, and some warmer weather.

I got to carry Caleb. He was a great sport.

Trip to Bald Mountain

Over Memorial Day weekend we had the chance to go hiking up in the Rockys outside of Boulder. We went on a great hike called Bald Mountain (thank you Murricanes for the suggestion!). It was a really fun day.

We, of course, had to start the hike with a snack.

Then, after hiking for 20 minutes we had to stop for snack time.
Our snack spot included a great place for rock scrambling and Caleb wasn't about to be left out.

Help! They are falling off a cliff!

The Caleb Climber. "Yeah, Mom, I can do it by myself."

Ashley was more into snacking than she was climbing...

What a beauiful rock queen.

We almost lost Alex...or is he just messing around?

Going up?

Finally at the top!

Zack's Trip to Vegas

Zack recently took a trip to Nevada and was able to spend some time visiting with his sister, Jenny, and her son Josh. Here are some pics of their visit.

Josh and Zack got to enjoy some tree climbing...
