Fun in the Sun

This time last week, I was posting about snow angels and snow balls. Today, about hiking and picnicing. You've gotta love Colorado! Hope and Brandon were both off school today for MLK Day. Since it was supposed to be in the mid 60s, we decided to go to Chautauqua Park in Boulder and go for a hike and have a picnic. Jill and the boys came along for the hike. The big kids had a great time exploring and EJ enjoyed her ride in the backpack - thanks Daddy! The weather was perfect. We even got hot as we were hiking. Notice how Hope is gradually in less clothing as the pictures go on! I'm posting quite a few pictures, but I couldn't stop taking them on such a beautiful day. It was hard for me to get it down to only this many!


Ready to go!

That's a heavy picnic basket!
