the rock

Steve took the Friday after the 4th of July off, so we took the kids to hike the Castle Rock "rock".  We did this when Emmy was an infant and it is a super easy hike for littles.  Emerson did so great, she had a lot of practice from Moab, and Wyatt always enjoys a ride in "backpack!"  It was a perfect way to spend our morning.

Durango

We headed southwest to Durango a few weeks ago for a family vacation....what a blast.  The kids did so well on the 7+ hour car ride....thank gosh for the dvd players and Strawberry Shortcake!  We spent four days down there relaxing, eating great food, swimming, hiking a 14'er (Steve & Adam), visiting Mesa Verde and the family hit the alpine slides while Wyatt and I snoozed.  It was a great little getaway and I look forward for many more to come!

Our condo's patio in Purgatory...beautiful views!
