Nature Walk right here in Littleton

Ok...we have been back a week now and still haven't posted our trip. We have been too busy looking for new ultralight gear (especially packs), checking out books from the library on the Colorado Trail, and playing in the sprinklers in the backyard.

I (Rach) am still processing how to merge the desire of selling it all and move to the mountains with the reality of jobs, kids, house, and life. But if nothing else our trip helped us get back to the heart of us and why we ventured out West in the first place. That being said I took the boys out for a nature walk this week in an effort to get outside right where we are.

Here are some pictures of our adventure.

Countdown...

It's now 2 days till vacation and there is something magical about the anticipation of getting ready for a trip. Something about making the lists and checking things off. Getting stuff in place to go.
It's even great to say..."I'll call you when I get back."

Just Jeremy and I are heading off into the wilderness for a week. No wonder I am giddy. Boys get a week with Grandma Faye and we get a week to be together. Good stuff.

I'll post when we get back :)
