Estes Park--more hiking fun!

Sunday morning we decided to go hiking again to enjoy the beautiful weather. Kristi had a friend from Denver come up to visit--so we split into 2 groups--our family went one way and Kristi, friends, Janell, and Jake went on a longer, harder hike! Day 2 of hiking went great--our family did the harder hike first and finished with a nice flat lake with amazing scenery!

We hiked up to Nymph Lake on Sunday--Caden slowed down today and really enjoyed climbing on rocks--we got several compliments for having our kids out at such an early age walking and hiking--always nice to hear!

Nymph Lake was a mile hike--and here it is!

More Caden photography--lots of lily pads in this lake.

Why not lay on a tree!

After this hike--we ate a snack and went to Sprague Lake--beautiful lake and has an awesome flat, trail all around it--we got to see fishermen and some wild life!

Caden always had a stick in hand--here he is drawing in the dirt.

Ducks--look how clear the water is--amazing!

Caden and Brynn sitting on a log watching the fishermen.

Both kids were amazed that these fishermen were standing in the middle of the lake fishing--a new experience for them.

Brynn found sticks as well and was drawing in the dirt while Caden took more pictures.

Our family at Sprague Lake.

The lake and scenery--breath-taking!

Our chipmunk friend that came to say hello right at the end of the trail!

Jacob, Janell, Kristi, and friends started out at Glacier Gorge, hiked to Alberta Falls, and went on to Mills Lake. I am sure they have stories to tell--but I have the pictures!

More Alberta Falls and more Nell and Jake :)

We all enjoyed our hikes that day and came back to the condo ready to chow down on lunch and take a nap--can't beat that for a Sunday afternoon!
After naps--Jake, Layne, and Caden went fishing and Kristi, Janell, Brynn, and I headed downtown to check out all the fun stores that Estes Park has to offer---our fun was cut short as it started to rain--so we all met up and headed to Poppy's Pizza for some yummy food before heading back to relax at the condo. Besides the rain, the weather was awesome--around 85-90--it was so nice to be outside all day and not be in the 100s--thank you Colorado!
