The Great Outdoors


The girls just started holding hands and it is the cutest thing in the whole world. I've been needing to blog for quite a few weeks and I just haven't had the time or motivation to get to it. We had an amazing few days up in Steamboat with Ben parents and Cindy and Chris. Then we came back and Daniel and Becca joined us for the weekend. It was gorgeous up in Steamboat, so fun to get away, and so fun to play games and catch up with family. Nothing is rejuvenating like being in the mountains. Highlights were Scum during nap, the hot springs, hiking, Boondocks, and eating at our favorite Creek Side Cafe.

We got hiking backpacks at the twin sale this year (2 for $30---what a steal) and are loving using them. It is still quite the load with our big, beautiful girls on our backs but so worth it. Evie and Rose LOVE riding in them and seeing the world from a new perspective.



We really love Steamboat. There isn't a ton to do with babies in tow but we sure do enjoy our favorite things. I love taking pictures in the same spots to compare over the years.
Here is us at our favorite restaurant.

We also did a little hiking last weekend in Boulder with Cindy and Chris and they showed us a fabulous spot called Chautauqua with great trails . Getting out and being outdoors is exactly what Colorado is supposed to be good for and I'm excited to take advantage of it this summer and fall.
