Boulder, Colorado

Childhood Treasures
I love the weekend.  Since our move to Colorado, we have spent the weekends exploring Denver Metro...museums, parks, trails and attractions.  We love it.  There is so much to do and so much to see.  Today we decided to venture to Boulder, Colorado.  A new favorite, just 18 short miles from our home.  Boulder downtown is awesome.  So many fun shops and restaurants.  We stopped in Settlers' Park, it contains a network of trails that take you through beautiful red rock.  It was really fun.  At the trail head, we read information about the area.  We learned that this was an area rich in gold for early settlers.  After hearing that, our girls were determined to find gold!  Along the trail, they stopped every five feet to dig for their treasure.  They found several rocks that contained "sparkles of gold and diamonds" (little girls are so cute).  We look forward to visiting Boulder again soon.  Next time I won't be wearing 3 inch heels- not so fun to hike in. :)

This blog has been seriously neglected! The holidays were so busy and so much fun, no time to blog. I can not believe that it is already 2009. I love the start of a new year. Brad's back to a normal work week, Addison starts school tomorrow, and the 2 little girls and I are beginning our busy weekly routine. It was so great to relax and hang out as a family during the holidays. We really loved it. Wish it could have lasted a bit longer. :)
