Estes Park with Grandpa and Lu Lu
David's parents were so great to come into town for David's promotion. They stayed for five days and they were a huge help! It was so nice to have helping hands to throw David's promotion party. Also, Grandpa made some great bookshelves for Pace's room and for the guest bedroom. We are so thankful for all the work they did while they were here. We did find a little time to have some fun during their visit and drove up to Estes Park for a day trip. We did a short 2 1/2 mile hike and again we had gorgeous weather.
America's Mountain
July 4th weekend we set out with the Rockefellers to conquer Pikes Peak. We packed up our gear and loaded Pace and Gracie into the backpacks and set off on the 13 mile journey that we planned to do over two days. The trail was absolutely beautiful and we had great weather. After about 6 hours (7 miles) we made it to camp where we refilled water and enjoyed a great home cooked meal by the wonderful hosts at Barr Camp. When Saturday morning arrived, however, the Walker clan decided we should go back down the mountain rather than trying for another 6-7 hours of uphill hiking. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our Independence day on America's Mountain. We think next time we try to conquer Pikes Peak and all of is 14.000 feet that we will leave Pace with a babysitter!
Visit from Poppy and Nana
My parents were able to sneak away for a weekend in June and so they decided to use their frequent flyer miles to pay us a visit! Although it was a short visit fun was had by all. We had hopes of driving up Pike's Peak, however, part of the road was closed due to snow and ice. We settled on Garden of the Gods and the Airforce Acadamy instead. Can't wait for them to come again!

Rocky Mountain High
This past weekend we traveled to Estes Park for a little mini vacation. We stayed at a cozy little inn with the friendliest staff. Our room over looked a little river and it was so peaceful. Saturday morning after a hearty breakfast we loaded Pace up in the backpack carrier and headed for higher ground. We hiked for almost 3 hours and enjoyed some amazing views. We would have liked to go further, however, there was still a bit of snow on the trail and it started raining on us. We had a fantastic time and are looking forward to more hiking in the Rockies!
Swing Time
Pace is loving his new swing! Most days we go out and swing in the afternoon! We enjoy temps in the mid 70's to 80's most days.
