We made cupcakes for Charlotte's kindergarten teacher's wedding, which was a lot of fun, and while Charlotte and I went to the wedding Daddy, Marin and Tim went for a hike.

Fun Close to Home

Although we do not often take pictures, we visit the creek by our house a lot during the summer.

The creek was deep enough in our spot to swim this year!

Very cold water

Playtime in Boulder.

Grand Lake Camping Weekend

We had a wonderful camping trip near Grand Lake. This is the first time we have camped using dispersed camping along a forest service road, and we do not plan to ever go back! We had almost all the conveniences as a car camping site, without any other people. 

A large bull elk right out my window on Trail Ridge Road when we drove through Rocky Mountain National Park.

Our cozy little campsite.

Kitchen - next time we will need to bring a portable table to make life a little easier.

It is hard to see, but this moose ran right by our campsite and is in the trees.

Heading out for a hike

Trailhead for our hike to Columbine Lake.

Sweet Baby!

An old cabin was a little ways off the trail and of course we had to explore it.

These two are ready to start building their own cabin!

This was such a beautiful hike.

Silly girls

Summer wildflowers

Gummy worm power!!
