One or two more...

Today's hike #2

Here's a view from the top, and then on the way down. And finally a very tuckered little hiker...

This week's family hike

Today we went to Golden Gate State Park near Golden, CO and hiked a great trail up to a nice overlook facing most of the Colorado rocky mountain range. You'll notice in some of the pictures that Charlie has a new haircut, which was supposed to be a trim, but it's not as easy to do at home as the professionals make it seem. All in all it was a heck of a hike, a lot of steep climbs up to the overlook but well worth it. We plan to head back in the next two weeks to see the full turn of the aspen trees before fall.

Out for a family hike

We went went for a hike last Saturday around Flagstaff Mountain. Out and about with Charlie - 20 months - and Henry 8 weeks.

We're getting Henry's first smiles

He's trying these first couple grins on for size.

Charlie makes his masterpiece

An artist in training I'd say...

Charlie loves his cheerios
