Walk in the Woods, part deux

Paul & I had so much fun hiking with the boys around Sprague Lake, we brought back mom, Sam & Keith with us later in the week. This time we went farther down the path, into different parts of the woods and just explored more than rock climbed. We saw a woodpecker up close and a HUGE elk. It was so massive and so up close. Mom & I even examined some scat trying to figure out if it was from a bear. It was too big to be deer, but it might have been elk. We all enjoyed the relaxing walk in the woods.

This picture I took to show a real estate agent what I want my backyard to look like someday. It's going to be in Colorado. It's going to have plenty of land that looks like this

Brave Noah crossing the stream on a log

Jumping on rocks. I warned him he might get wet. He told me he wouldn't. He was right.
Never underestimate Noah. He can do whatever he puts his mind to.

Nice jump, buddy.

Balancing on logs is fun

Paul & Elliot joined us late. Elliot fell asleep in the car and took an hour and a half nap. They were just coming back in time to see the big Elk!

Hey there, big guy

Keith said "I've only seen those stuffed at Bass Pro" and wanted a pic with it - haha!

I love this pic of Paul & the boys having a picnic
