Roxborough State Park

Amazing, wonderful, awe-inspiring are some of the words that come to mind when I think about our hike in Roxborough State Park this afternoon. It was a perfect day, pretty warm, a slight breeze, but tolerable. It's a great time to be out and about in nature in Colorado. Spring is so beautiful! Everything is turning green, wildflowers are blooming, weather's great.....
We immediately saw deer at the beginning of our hike. (You can barely see them in this picture, but they are right up against the scrub oak.)
















Right near the car the boys noticed this fox standing about 10 feet away from them! Amazing! The fox is obviously used to people since he didn't even flinch while Rick took this picture. The boys even saw him catch something and eat it. Pretty cool!

Your a tough mommy taking your kids on hikes, with a baby on your back. I am such a punk and would never do that. I know what your saying about Curren growing old. I have been having a hard time with Audrey turning a year. It just goes by to fast. Your looking pretty good and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!
