It seems like summer is slipping by so fast. We haven't even had a chance to go camping yet. But yesterday we decided to play hooky from church and get away for a little "daycation" as a family! We took off for Estes first thing in the morning with the plans of having a picnic at Endo Valley then climbing around the Alluvial Fan. We also found a new park part way up the canyon, Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park , that has quickly become a new favorite spot.
JOhn and Andrew headed up to the top! I was surprised Andrew's little 4 r old legs did so well. He only needed a few boosts from John.
If you look towards the right had side of the water, you will see John and Andrew amongst the bushes waving! They were about half way up!
OK, this one is the hardest to see, but all of a sudden I looked up and saw John and Andrew on the other side of the water fall at the VERY top of a HUGE rock! If you look at the top of the rock on the left of the water you will see a little blue dot. That is Andrew and John. John found a shallow spot in the waterfall, so he took off his shoes and socks, picked up Andrew and decided to cross the FREEZING water! And of course he saw a shiny rock in the water. If you know the Young's, then you know they are rock hounds. So he decided to stop in the FREEZING water and try to pick it up without dropping our son down the waterfall... he was successful! :)
My climber! He was so proud. He said he was climbing up to rescue someone like a firman! THen he slid down the fireman pole! :)
John once again monkeying around to get out in the water as far as possible with out getting wet! The river runs right along the park. It was beautiful and the sounds of the water was unbelievable! The perfect park!
They have a few huts with picnic tables inside and fireplaces. They were awesome!
Well that's the quick run down of our weekend. I'm know I still need to get up the before and after house pics as well as some new prego pics. I promise, they are coming soon!
