lil' hikers

a hike becomes more than a hike when you are accompanied by the world's most curious and adorable sidekicks.  this was our first year that sunny and wills used their very own legs to get up the trail.  our ventures this year were some of my shortest i can ever remember, but they were the BEST!

smart wills packed his magnifying glass, great idea!

love these ladies!

then, of course, it's not just getting to the destination, it's enjoying it!  we walked up to the little lake above gammy and gan gan's place several times during the course of our trip and sunny and wills always found new ways to enjoy the beautiful mountain lake.

colorado love

colorado is a special place, in general, and to me.  it is always wonderful to visit gammy and gan gan, and this year was no exception.  it is hard to know where to begin, but i gotta start on trail ridge road.  this AMAZING drive took my family into the magical world of the rocky mountain national park, and me down memory lane.  every one was a good sport as i made us listen to john denver (aka, the music that gives momma the happy tears) the whole way through the park.
