Our annual Colorado trip came and went this year... We've got so many pictures that I figure I'll give them to you in bits and pieces... hiking is always on the agenda.
This year we had a great group:
Uncle Chrisper and Miche (with Buddy)
Aunt JuJuB and Uncle JaJa (with Halpert)
And Rob, Taylor, and me (our pups are getting old and we left them at home this year... we really missed having them around on our hike)
With Rob toting Taylor, Taylor toting dandelions, and me toting my new camera we were off.
Before long, we were ready for a break where we stopped for snacks and water.

After our break we kept on hiking... Taylor was so funny asking Rob to stand a certain way allowing her to watch him at the water crossing.
The Aspen trees, with their smooth white bark and fluttering leaves were just beautiful! They're also a little creepy because as they grow they lose branches and the spots where the branches used to be look like eyes... so in the forest you could let yourself get worked up about all the Aspen eyes staring at you... or you could just enjoy the beautiful forest.

Chris and Michelle sneaking some cuddling time on the trail.
I always enjoy documenting the variety of flowers we see in Colorado... these were so unique! From the top they looked like stars, but this is how they grew - like a crown!
Even the flowers honor our King!
After about four hours of hiking at the end of the trail, T fell asleep and I snapped one of my ALL-TIME favorite pictures of my mountain man!
Now, this picture was was taken the next day when Rob, Chris, Jason, and Julie went on the BIG hike of the trip... if you look closely, you can see tiny Rob, just right and down of center... See him?
Talk about Mountain with a capitol M!
Another view from the BIG hike... beautiful!
More beautiful, amazing, awe-inspiring Colorado to come...
