Father's Day in Morrison

We spent Father's day in Morrison, Colorado.

This was really special for my husband because this is where he grew up. Not only did he get to spend the day with his Son he also got to spend it with his Dad and Brother.


This is Matt's Grandfather's house that is dad now lives in. So Ozzie was also there in spirit!

Matt, Papa and Uncle Pete enjoyed showing Sawyer some of their favorite spots.

We hiked to the elementary school that all three of them attended.

Where we found the playground with the BEST VIEW EVER!

Then we hiked along one of their favorite trails.

And enjoyed being surrounded by nature.

It was nice to have three generations of boys together on Father's Day.

We hiked all the way to the top of the hill.

That is where the Morrison Cemetery is.

Back at the school I noticed this sign. I thought it was cute.

After all that hiking we were in need of something refreshing. So we stopped here.
and got an Ice cream.
When Sawyer received his ice cream he started singing "Happy Birthday to me".
All the other customers were smiling and wishing him Happy Birthday. Until I informed them that it really wasn't his birthday. He just likes to sing that song when we have Ice cream.:)

After Ice cream we stopped and said hello to the Dinosaurs around town.
It was a really special Father's Day.

Running at Red Rocks

The following blog contains one of my favorite places on earth!

Ladies and Gentlemen if you don't know it already,
let me introduce you to, Red Rocks!

This is one place I always tell visitors to go!
I LOVE IT HERE!
If you ever visit Colorado, come here.
If it is concert season, even better.
If you happen to catch your favorite musician,
then you're in for a spiritual experience!

If these rocks could talk, oh the stories they could tell.
The list of Legends that have played here is something to see.

This is the famous people view, from the stage.
Only minus all the people, and the lights, and the concert paraphernalia.I didn't catch a concert on this trip. Instead my friends and I ran the stairs!


Yes, these stairs
and these stairs

even the ramp.
You might be thinking, Gosh that looks really hard.
It was.
However, I must admit, climbing this ramp is much easier on a Sunday morning. Than it is after "preparing for a concert" by drinking alcoholic beverages in the parking lot below.

This is the view from the top of the ramp.

If you climb the stairs. The girls I went with have a strategy,
if you park at the top you are forced to hike back up.

This worked nicely, because going down the hill is easy.

It was coming up the hill that I stopped for pictures. :)

and more pictures!

and more.

If you are not into stairs, you can try running back and forth!

To the left,

Then back to the right

Even if exercise isn't your thing, just driving through the rocks is cool.
What ever you do here whether it's a concert, climbing the stairs or just driving through,
It should be an enjoyable experience!

Well, if you run the stairs for the first time it is enjoyable,
until the next day when you feel pain in muscles you didn't even know you had!;)
