Timp Hike

I did it! Here are some photo's from the hike. We took the Aspen Trail, the other trail was closed and boy was it crowded!


















Squaw Peak Mountain HIke

I did this hike one Saturday morning, its a nice 4 hour hike and gain in elevation. Its up Rock Canyon and I never knew of this trail head. It was beautiful we saw lots of wild turkeys and deer.








Battle Creek Falls

One thing I wanted to do this summer was to hike Timp. So along with my awesome neighbor Heidi we did a few 'warm up' hikes before. Battle Creek is an a pretty cool name, I was born in a town called Battle Creek. I took along the wool-uf Koda, it was a pretty neat little hike. 

Carter's trip to the zoo

We went to the zoo back in July. (I will be playing catch up over whats been going on the last couple of months!) Carter has technically been to the zoo for zoo lights last December but he was tiny and it was really cold! He loved it this time! It really made an impression on him, especially the elephants! They were spraying the baby and two adult elephants down with water (it was really hot that day). The baby elephant really stole the show though, playing, rolling around. After going to the zoo his new favorite movie is Dumbo, still is one of his favorites. 
Grandma and Grandpa came too, of course everybody needs a 'excuse' to go to the zoo.
Most of the animals were laying in the shade sleeping, because it was so hot! 
Here's the tiger right up against the window, you could of almost missed him if it weren't for the crowd of people standing at the window. 
We went on the train ride (lame...) and Carter loved playing in the playground area I forget what it was called.
I look forward to many more trips there. Oh and we saw the new polar bear exhibit, one bear was doing laps in the water right next to the window, back and forth. It was awesome.
