Dad and Caroline

So, after St. Louis, Dad, Caroline, and I drove back home to Denver (well, back home for me). On Monday, we got yummy breakfast at Toast then took them up Mt. Evans. This time we brought Zumi along! Caroline and Dad both loved Zumi and why not? He's uber lovable.

Pit stop just before the entrance gate.

Caroline took this cool pic of snow falling up in the mountain tops.

Yes, that is a man on a unicycle. Of course.

We couldn't drive all the way to the parking lot up top because it was so busy! So we parked and hiked a bit just to get to the short hike to the tippy top.

We all got winded (it's 14k feet, after all) and actually Dad didn't feel up to hiking all the way up.

The top!

Yes!

We're tired!

Thumbs up? Am I really that dorky?

Caroline and Zumi at the very top of the mountain.

This man has a little Captain in him.

That gives you an idea of how far up you have to hike. Not that far.


Kurt took this awesome pic of Zumi. Man, that's a cute puppy.

Then we went to Hacienda Colorado and stuffed our faces. Then Kurt had to work, so Caroline, Dad, and I took Zumi to the park down the street from our house. We played fetch and laid in the nice, soft grass. The next morning when we woke, Dad and Caroline were gone. Another 1-day trip from my family! Loved having them here!!

omg your hair is so so cute! I kind of hate you for looking gorgeous with long or short hair. Yay that you got to be with your family! And yay for Zumi being cute!
