We headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park to do some hiking first thing Saturday morning--we started with Bear Lake which is beautiful and a pretty flat, good hike to do with kiddos!
We have pictures of BEAR Lake from EVERY angle--so enjoy the scenery!
Kristi, Layne, and Kids checking out the lake, which was very clear--we could see down to the bottom!
Family photo time!
Kristi and Brynn climbing rocks--the sun was not in the best position for this picture!
Caden loved being the leader!

Next we headed to Alberta Falls--one of my favorite places to hike to growing up--not sure if I would do it again with a 2 and a 4 year old as you can go right to the edge of the rocky waterfall and I had some mommy moments about losing my kids over the edge, but all was well--Caden and I had a safety talk before we started and we all agreed to hang on tight to his hand not matter what! Brynn was a little easier to hang on to--but it was a beautiful view none the less!

Picture Perfect!
At the top of Alberta Falls--we stuck our feet in--still cold!

Breath-taking!
We learned a few things after hiking that first day--do the harder hike first and save an easier hike for later--so we did things a little differently on day 2, but we all enjoyed being outside in the mountains taking in the beautiful sights and sounds of nature. Leaving Alberta Falls--we had a few kid meltdowns--as you are hiking UP most of the way out--so we had to take lots of Caden breaks, but slowly we made it and he was proud of himself in the end!
