Fall Colors

We have baby backpacks and we wanted to see the fall colors so we took the kids and went on a hike in Estes Park. There are a lot of pine trees, so the colors weren't quite the same as they are in the Sardine Canyon (close to Logan where we used to live), but we still had lots of fun and enjoyed the mountain air. The babies loved the hiking trip!

Here's a scenery shot. The aspens were yellow and the elk were bugling in the meadow. We didn't get any pictures of the elk because they were pretty far away, but still cool to see!



















The boys













The girls













Alli - she isn't smiling in this picture, but she really did have fun! She liked watching the squirrels and touching the rocks and trees. She is our little adventurer.













Nick - despite teething (see drool) he is obviously very happy with the hiking trip.













Our little family. We don't get outdoors quite as much as we did before we had the twins, but we definitely enjoy it when we get the chance!













Another scenery shot. This is a about as high up as we got. Loved to see the yellow aspen leaves and the waterfall together.

Cute kids! It is harder to get out with 2 of them, that is for sure. And you missed some great fall colors in Sardine this year.

You guys are so good taking your kids out like that. Hiking is rough when they can walk. You must be so buff, where do you hide all that muscle.
