Colorado Part 3

Thursday we went on our long hike. Here is the beginning group. After about the first mile half of them, mostly the little kids turned back. They spent their day riding the city bus to a toy store, walking around town, playing at the park and with each other. Kent did not go at all. He had a hard time breathing in the high altitude and he left his inhaler at home. Plus he still was working on his paper. It was due the following day. So he stayed home with Barrett.

Here is the group the finished the hike. It was a beautiful hike!!! The first part was a lot of up hill, then it flatted out and was a perfect hike.

We followed the river the whole time. Camilla and I were hiking buddies. We walked slower then everyone because we were constantly stopping to take pictures.

Here is my brother being my brother.

On Friday we rented bikes and bike trailers for a day. The bused us up to the top of a pass and then we biked 14 miles down! It was so beautiful! We followed the river most of  the way. Most of the time I rode my breaks because we were going so fast and we had some sharp turns we had to make.

Here is Wesson ready for his first bike ride. We took Laina with us, because me sister couldn't go due to being pregnant.

We stopped at the lake and the boys had to throw rocks in the lake!

 

Kent got to pull the kids in the bike trailer. I was glad because there were several miles where it was flat and you acctually had to pedal. I rode a bike once in the last 10 years!

 

After we finished our bike ride we went home for lunch and then went back and did it again!! 28 miles in one day!!! My rear was feeling it! And the tops of my hands, I forgot to put sunscreen there.

  

This time when we stopped at the lake we Kayaked some.

There we cooled down in the pool later that evening. What a beautiful day!

The next day we packed up and headed home!
