Memorial Day Hike



On Memorial Day (September 2) we went, with Kristin and Nate Woods, on a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park.  It was a beautiful hike, about 6 miles round trip, and the weather was beautiful .  We hiked up to some falls and got to sit and relax (and explore) while enjoying nature.  Elizabeth did great in her carrier and really loves being outside (when it's not too hot).   I love to hike but I have a problem; I watch my feet (becuase I am accident prone and trip- a lot) and so I often miss the view.  On this hike Ben kept saying, "Look up now Brea, the path is straight and it is beautiful."  It really was beautiful and it made me just that much for grateful for the amazing world we live in and for the beauty in Colorado.








Ben hiked up and around the side of the waterfall to get pictures- while I stayed below with Elizabeth


Afterwards we went to lunch at the Baldpate Inn, outside of Allen's Park.  This is one of Ben and my favorite places to go and it was great!!
