Little people make it all the way to the top!

 

 

The little people made it all the way to the top of Horsetooth Rock this morning!  I decided this week we were going to try and tackle this one while they were still in 'shape' from our camping trip. One did splendidly, the other did great in the middle but was a bit whiny

 

on either side of that.  It was overcast which was nice since it was a bit humid for here.

Hiked Horsetooth Mountain Park this morning.  Saw 4 mule deer, one with a rack!

 

 

Had fun experimenting w/ my new camera but didn't take anything very different or spectacular.  Oh well, I still had fun and enjoyed the early spring day.
