Summer time ride

Beautiful summer night for a ride. It was like our own private trail -- didn't see a sole.

Masterpieces

Two recent kiddo works of art to share.

Mountain Bikers at Curt Gowdy State Park = Kids in a Candy Store

4th of July at Two Miles High

We took to the hills for the long weekend:

Puppy meets wildflowers:

Roadside views:

Picked up some sleep-deprived campers:

Then spent a few days in Breckenridge.

Riding bikes:
Z tries out the race course. This shot was captured seconds before he launched over the berm and landed spectacularly on his bike. Ouch!

Just after chasing 750 other bikers over hill and dale for 5+ hours:

Happy B-Day America.

And Mother Nature's light show this morning.

Who needs sleep

Ahhh, the joys of a new puppy.

Current score:
"Lucky the Puppy": 7 nights vs. "Good Nights Sleep": 0 nights

:)

The little mutt has been dominating our lives, but she's a pretty fun little guy and I guess we'll probably have to end up keeping her. :)

Pics:


On Monday night me and the puppy enjoyed (me more than her, I think) one of the best electrical storms I've seen around here:

And in the "on the bright side" department, because of the puppy schedule I've seen more sunsets and sunrises in the past week than in the previous 6 months.

Two Big Days

Saturday I spent the better part of the day pedaling a bike on dirt trails. Flowers and a rattlesnake were the only two occasions for which I pulled out the camera:






Today was Puppy Day. Bell to Bell. :)

Tackling the 'Tooth

I'm not exactly sure where the motivation came from, but when M told me she wanted to hike to the top of Horsetooth Rock by herself, I was happy to go along.

The Girl powered her way up in solid time. I was super impressed and downright proud.
