It's Summertime!!!

It's been a couple of weeks, but Jenn and Scott had their little girl Summer Anne on February 13th at 4:12am after being in labor for 9+ hours.

Everyone is well and happy as you can see from the pictures!

Summer in Colorado

On Saturday, merely 5 hours after getting back from Elk, Brett drove me to the airport

to fly to Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Highlands Ranch is a community outside of Denver next to Littleton and about a 20 minute drive from the Rockies!

I went to help de-stress my friend Jenn by putting together baby rocker things and furniture, cleaning, hanging pictures, running errands and basically anything that needed done before Summer comes on or before February 11th!

Mission accomplished. I even got 2 hikes in at Mount Falcon Park in Golden, Colorado!

Hike, Day 1 Eastern side of Mount Falcon - Trailhead is right next to the Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Morrison, CO.



Wildlife spotting:




Hike, Day 2 Western side of Mount Falcon with Jill Raynor who is out visiting a friend also.

And what makes a trip to Colorado complete?
Really good Mexican food.
