when in rome...i mean colorado

i don't think we realized it at the time we bought our house what a great location it is for us. we like getting out to the "outdoors," but only if it is easy and convenient. so lucky for us, we have state parks , fishing streams, duck ponds, and a boating reservoir within literally 5 minutes of our house. this morning we revisited roxborough state park. it was surprisingly beautiful the first time we went and it offers 6 trails at varying levels of difficulty. nothing makes you feel more like a true coloradoan than strapping on a couple packs and hitting the trails.

I like the strung together picture of everyone. I can't decide about the finish. Whether to do color, sepia, or black/white? Your thoughts? I like Sammi's picture, but Olivia is another story. I didn't get enough time to look at them so next sunday I will spend time at your mom's and decide. What did you think?

totally jealous. We tried to get out and go to the Bean Festival this weekend- our town's big event of the year- and almost DIED in the 104 heat. Yah sure we love the outdoors, just not our outdoors. BAH for the summer. i'm SO over it!!
