Climb Every....Rock

We took a quick little trip to Colorado over Memorial

weekend. Weather permitting we enjoy taking family

hikes. The weather was beautiful!! So we went to Red

Rocks, a rock formation in the middle of the national

forest. Jon and I were frequent visitors to Red Rocks

in high school and Kevin proposed to Abby while

climbing the rocks there, but Mom, Dad, Kurt, and our

kids hadn't ever been.

A lot of our hike required climbing and helping each

other through cracks or hoisting some one up and

always keeping a hand on whoever was carrying the baby.

Paris got a little scratch right away and was whining a little bit, but soon learned

how to suck it up because we all ended up with a few scrapes and bruises.

Kurt's inner stunt-man came out and he was jumping and climbing everything in sight.



Fire Hair!!

This was the only way up to the top for the little ones...

...But the view is well worth the trouble!

Yeah I should have been up there at the top, but then who would have taken the

pictures???

Lex really had a great time exploring. He is generally a cautious little guy, but

for some reason climbing the rocks didn't scare him a bit. He was fearless, we

need to get him out on some rocks more often!

During our hike we decided this would be a great area to shoot a music video,

but I had left the video camera in the van, so we decided we would come back

the next day to shoot some footage. I only have a couple pictures from our

second adventure, since the video cam was what I used, but both trips Winter

fell asleep on someone.

The video footage came out great, now I just need to edit it. That will come some

time in the future, not enough time right now
