We visited 6 Flags in Denver a few weekends ago, Winter Park this past weekend, and hiked down from the tundra two days ago. Winter Park does not look anything like itself in the winter. They have an alpine slide, mini golf, bungee/trampoline jumping, rides, and a maze. The slide is the big attraction. We were able to go with friends minus Ana. We also had free admission because of the Y. $50 saving per person! Here are a few pics from each place.
Driving back from Winter Park. 2 hours West of us.
Our family and Greg climbing down from the tundra. The hike started at 11, 500 ft at noonish. We were rained on lightly for a few hours and were threatened with lighting. We were scared for a little while thinking the storms might catch us. We were picking rock outcroppings to hide below if needed.
The hike took us through all the terrains found in Rocky Mountain. Here we are about halfway through the hike.
The entire hike took over 6 hours and we covered 6.5 miles! Naaman once again walked the entire way with only a few sitting breaks, Kyra walked half way, and Kelsie was carried the entire way. They did awesome.

I have short video of Kelsie and Kyra riding with me down the slide. I'll try posting those some other time. They are kind of funny. Kelsie in particular looks disinterested in the ride. We'll be home soon.

Thanks for the glimpse into your lives. I miss you guys so much and can't wait to see you again back in Austin.
I can't believe how big your kids are getting! Especially Kelsey - she's grown up so much!
It sounds like you had a good time with the Browns. Praise God for amazing friendships like that, right?
Love,
Heidi
I'm sorry, I spelled Kelsie wrong! It's "ie"!
kelsie is so big!!! oh my goodness!!!
i can't wait for you guys to be back in Austin...
Woah. Everyone looks so old. Except you, Brook and Rudy. In fact you look younger. What's your secret. =)
Beautiful pics! We should all move. (Not really. Austin is too cool. And by cool, I mean HOT.)
Glad to finally find your blog.
what awesome pictures!! y'all pretty much have an incredibly beautiful family. way to go Brook for carrying Kelsie for the whole hike!!! you were being a good PT by activating your core and protecting your back the whole way, right? hehe... :) and way to go Naaman and Kyra for being awesome hiking troppers! that's so cool.
thanks for all the good pics! It's really nice to have a visual of y'alls time spent there.
Great pics, guys. Looks like a fun time and some awesome hikes. Alpine sleds are a blast. We did one last summer in Breckenridge.
Waz up? I need a drink! More blog please!
Rudy & Brook,
Your family is beautiful! I haven't read all of the blogs back to January, but I got a good start. Colorado is definitely amazing. I am glad that you had the opportunity to spend your summer there.
Love to all,
Margo
