We are really enjoying living in Highlands Ranch. It is a master planned community. So before they started to build all the hundreds of homes they had a plan for everything. Part of the plan was open space and a lot of trails. We just love to go on walks with our kids. We have a trail right out our front door. When we are more adventurous we drive for about 7 minutes and get to this beautiful place. There are many ways to get up to the highest point. One way is going straight up. It is fast, but Zack has a hard time going straight up. There is a park right next to the entrance as well so we are always fighting with the kids to go on a walk and not go to the park. We found another entrance last week. It was an easy walk, but took forever. It was about 2-3 miles long. We only had 2 water bottles and no other food. They didn't do so well. 2 days later we went a different way. Much better route! We fed the kids at the picnic tables at the beginning of the trail and we were off. They did great. Here are some pictures of this beautiful place we live in. I really miss the beauty of Oregon, but places like this are helping.
This was right before we started the walk. The kids saw some cows and they were calling to them. It was really funny. They were saying here cowy cow!
Chase has his helmet, and knee pads on. He ran over and broke his other helmet so I had just got him a new one and he didn't want to take it off. He tells me now that he wants a skate board.
Views a long the way
This is at the top of the hill. This is down town Denver in the back. Too bad it was so smoggy. It looks like this a lot in the summer.
The trail along the way
We were almost to the end of the trail when I looked back and the boys were holding hands:) I was just so happy!
