Our First Mini-Hike in the Mountains

One of the big reasons we wanted to move to Colorado is because we love the mountains. Unfortunately, by the time Ken joined us it was late in the year and a bit chilly. Even with the chill, Ken and I took Chase and Ava hiking while the big kids were in school.
Excited to hike even if it means bundling up.


Chase was not very fast, part of that was due to the fact that he insisted on picking up and carrying rocks.

Looking out for all of the cactus on the side of the trail.
Ava didn't last quite as long as Chase... it was nap time.
Gorgeous!
When we were there the elk were in the rut and were gathering in large herds.  Driving home we saw this herd right next to the road.
