Our weekend.
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 07:00AM Since we didn't really do anything to celebrate Nathan's birthday on Friday, we ended up headed to Rocky Mountain National Park on Saturday for a spontaneous family hike at Nathan's request. We managed to find a trail that wasn't busy and started off, only to discover that the trail was less crowded for a reason. ;) Let's just say that it was rather a rocky climb for the first portion. The boys, though, were great troopers and we made it roughly 4 miles and 700 feet in elevation change in just under 4 hours (having stopped numerous times for water and snacks and to look at sticks and to talk to the ducks and to clamor to rocks in the middle of lakes). Here's what the trail looked like:
;)
Yup, we tired those boys out. ;)
We then drove back into Estes Park for a lovely dinner before driving home to prepare for our second yard sale of this summer. Yes, after our earlier purging success we discovered that we'd actually missed a few rooms and ended up with another fairly well stocked yard sale. We're getting to rather be pros at this. ;) In any case, it feels awesome to have gotten rid of basically two packed rooms full of stuff...embarrassing to admit that we had that much extra stuff in the first place, but awesome all the same. ;)
How was your weekend?

Good weekend. Pat and I went up to the cabin for the whole afternoon on Saturday. Quiet and peaceful. No changes except for a new deck. Read a good book, ate a picnic lunch, soaked in the beautiful scenery.
