Wednesday

mount herman

on sunday after church, we climbed a mountain!

laurel hiked the entire 2 miles up to the top. she may have complained a little, but she made it and we were so proud of her!

this was no easy hike. in some places it was very steep and rocky. can you find freddy?

the views were gorgeous from the beginning. all the aspens are changing to a beautiful golden color.

at the top. we did it!
we could see the denver sky line to the north and the academy and pike's peak to the south

we had a yummy cookie when we got to the top.

laurel hitched a ride for part of the way down. at one point she told pat "be careful daddy, i'm trying to go to sleep." well excuse me!!!

then she got her second wind...








my legs were trembling when we got back to the car, but i'm ready to find another mountain to climb!

I cracked up when I read Laurel's comment to Pat about not disturbing her efforts to go to sleep! Precious! How wonderful to have 2 little happy hikers!
