Tuesday night was Eden's date night, so she let me hang out with her and Leanna. She chose to go on a hike (which was really great) and then we had frozen yogurt at LuLu's (which was also awesome!)

Wednesday was cold and cloudy, so Leanna and I opted to stay home, look at choir music for my new calling, do some mending, and make cookies. It was all good.
Wednesday night we picked up Julie from the Colorado Springs Airport, and Thursday and Friday we packed full of hiking and biking. Lots of gorgeous pictures. Our first hike was the Garden of the Gods Park. Loved it!!

Thursday afternoon Mike joined us for a hike up to a lake. The hike started right there on base. It was a pretty difficult hike. I felt bad for Leanna carrying that baby! She's a trooper!
Friday we decided to go on a short hike up to Helen Hunt Falls. The only problem was the hiking trail was closed when we got there. But that didn't deter us! After eating our packed lunch, we found an alternate much-less-used trail on the other side which took us up to the same lookout. However, it was very steep and pretty dangerous. Once again I thought, what are we doing with this baby?? Marcus was such a trooper (gets it from his mother)! It was quite an adventure!
Then we ended the day with a 17-mile bike ride. The first and end of it were awesome!
Gotta love this hair! Marcus rocks! |
