Here are some pictures of a few places we've discovered over that last two weeks.
Roxsborough State Park is beautiful and we barely touched the surface of this place. Can't wait to go back soon!
We also went hiking in one of Douglas Counties open space preserves called Sruce Mountain. The annoying part was finding the place. The website doesn't provide direct directions so we drove around a little bit, but once we found it we were glad. It was a great hike. Now a little side note about both these trips (and the main reason why we didn't see much of Roxsborough) is that my kids are afraid of wind! Yes, you read it right, wind! Strange huh? The only reasons why I can think they are afraid of wind is one, Aidan's last ski adventure up at Eldora. It was SUPER windy and he had a hard time navigating on his skis. Then one day we were watching a discovery channel show about tornado chasers and Aidan kept asking if we get tornadoes here. I couldn't lie to him, but the likelihood of having a tornado here is pretty remote. So anyway, we had to fight Aidan and Kellen to get out of the car, but I REFUSED to give into them. How are they going to get over this fear if they don't face it right?
Once we were in the trees the wind died down and they were happy to go out hiking. We even ran into one of Aidan's school friends on our way back. And they all found a garter snake! Aidan discovered it and thank goodness it wasn't a rattle snake! Yikes!

You have such great places to visit over there! I loved the haircuts too. Such handsome guys:)
I read this post before the haircut post and thought, "Oh, that cute little boy must be Aidan's friend!" Of course, now I see that it's Kellen! (I'm also reminded that it helps to click on pictures instead of squinting to make out the faces!)
