Tyler Visits!

Ooooh, you say Uncle Tyler is coming?!?!?!
We (by that I mean, I) have been dying to play mini golf ever since moving to Colorado.  Here we are enjoying a fun Friday night out at Fort Fun!  Ice cream in Old Town was the perfect way to cap the evening - YUM!!!

Despite this minor set back, I did manage a frightening come back to win the night!
We drove down to Frisco and biked the trail from Frisco to Copper Mountain.  It was so gorgeous and despite the rather short distance, the starting elevation and elevation change made it a challenging ride.  Tyler and I biked the leg up, met with Rob and Jameson for a picnic lunch at Copper Mountain and then Rob rode back down with Tyler while I hung with Jameson.  It was an amazing day :)

We drove up the Poudre Canyon and headed to Cameron Pass (half way to Steamboat) for an afternoon of hiking.  On the way, we stopped and ate lunch on the river at the infamous Mishawaka Bar.  It was so cool sitting out on the deck, right above the water and watching rafters go by.  We got hit with some variable weather, but by the time we went hiking it was beautiful out.


Tyler, an intrepid explorer.

Trying out a pack we're borrowing from a friend before deciding which one we want to buy for ourselves.  This one worked well.

Jameson holding on for dear life.

I'm tired!

This marked a perfect spot to turn around.  We forgot bug spray and the mosquitos and biting flies were pretty unforgiving the entire trail.  They seemed to really like me...at the end of the day I had 7 bites!  The boys...none.  Never forgetting bug spray again!



Spotted a moose along our drive and so close to the road.
