•   Elias & I spend most of our hikes imaging we have special powers & what would we do with them. We can literally talk about this for hours.

  • An attempt at a “sweet” picture of the three of us: Luke, me, Jesse.

  • Some pictures from our hike.

  • We were inspired by the rock climbers & stopped to climb this rock face. Elias & I (Caden) made it to the top. Wyatt got super close, but then got nervous. It looks a lot easier from the bottom. Looking down from the top is a little scary. He had to down climb, which is…

  • We went for a hike in Eldorado Springs with the Johnson/Kane’s & the Douglas families. It was perfect! Eldorado Springs is a State Park & there were rock climbers everywhere (mostly very high up). The top picture has a climber in the middle. Center picture from left to right: Kaia, Abby, Luke, Jesse, Caden, me…

  • Finally, we ended with the zip line. After the zip line, we took half of Lucy’s Loop from Adventure Ridge to Mid-Vail & then hit the dirt road again. Mom & Caden ventured off on some more single track trails & we met up in Lionshead. It was a great way to end the summer!…

  • We did the kid’s rope course.

  • We took the gondola back up, enjoyed lunch on top of the mountain & had fun at Adventure Ridge. We jumped on the trampoline. I (Wyatt) was able to do a couple back flips. It took me awhile to figure out & looked much easier than it was. 

  • Then we rode by a blue single-track trail & decided to try it. It was awesome! We were so proud of ourselves & did things we couldn’t believe we could do.

  • On Sunday, we headed up Vail Mountain on the gondola. We started down the mountain on a dirt road.
