The boys hiking Copper Mountain Labor Day weekend. We rode up (in a hail storm that just came out of nowhere about 1/4th way up) and then they closed the lift because of the storm. GREAT! So, we hiked down in the hail storm, probably 4 miles. A good family memory:) This picture was in the last 1/2 mile, when Jake was helping Blake finish. They can be so sweet together.
Erik carrying Kate at about mile 2.5 He does not really look tired yet, but by the end, his shoulders were maybe a little sore. I guess I forgot to say also that we decided to leave the path halfway down to save time, and went the last mile and a half STRAIGHT DOWN following the lift. At one point, someone threw a poncho at us from the newly opened lift that was carrying them back down. We LOVED that :) It was a great workout, just wish I had dry clothes to change in to, and maybe some kind of cushion for the fronts of my shoes to protect the ends of my toes. It was like a 25 incline down instead of up.
This is the boys on the hayride at the Fall Festival. We had such a great time, but because I am on the PTO board this year, was very busy, and did not get many pictures. We went on this great ride together through our neighborhood on a cart with hay seats pulled by clydesdale horses. Does it get any better than this?
My great friend Suzanne with Kate. We are so blessed that Suz decided to work in the ducks class this year, on the days that Kate is there. Kate gets such special love, and I never have to worry:)
That is it for now. There is probably more, but at another time. We are going to Disney next week, so hopefully I will have enough motivation to post those in a more timely manner :)
