First hike of the year!

We were finally able to go on our first hike of the year. We always go hiking as a family, but Dennis was at work, and we were really excited to start hiking. I was a little worried about hiking without Dennis, but I thought I would try it. I wasn't afraid of getting lost, I was more afraid of the mountain lions. When we were coming down the mountain, we saw some huge paw prints in the mud. There was no way it was a dog. I told the kids to hurry and get down. Once we were down, we were walking in our neighborhood. My neighbor came up to us and told us there were 2 mountain lions sited about an hour ago. Thankfully, we had our dog with us. I'm not sure our dog would have protected us, I think he would have just tired to play with the lion.

We aren't in the city anymore : )

Anyhow, we still had fun. I don't think I'll go on that trail anymore without Dennis. Can't wait for more hiking!!!

Jourdan's "short cut" - It about killed me.

The view - If you look at the top of the picture, you can see the ski slopes



This whole hike was uphill!

The view from the top - Mt Sopris. My favorite mountain.



The kids were very excited to get to the top. They weren't excited they made it, they were excited they finally got cell phone reception

Snow Day, Snow Day!

Monday night we went to bed knowing they we were supposed to get a lousy 1inch of snow. We woke up to 12 inches of snow. The kids were super excited! Finally, school was cancelled. First time this winter!
Meg and Jourdan invited all their friends over for a "snow day" party. Of course, they don't use the 5 sleds we have. They all decide to use a big plastic pool. The kids had sooo much fun sledding and taking videos! The video's the kids took are pretty funny! The next post has several more videos.

Snow Day

Exploring

Today was a beautiful day in Colorado. The snow has finally melted enough where the kids could go out and explore our new backyard. Our backyard is amazing. It is 1 acre and completely fenced. We also have a green house. I'm not too sure what I'm going to do with that. There is also a tree house in the back corner of the yard. The kids are having fun with it.

*** Meg took a nap (first nap in like 5 years), so she missed out on the exploring.
