Loveland Pass Hike...

We finally managed to get out for a HIKE!!  Our first of the year, + Elsie Anne's first of her toddler life:)  She did incredible!  She started off hiking w/ us, since she needed to stretch her legs, after the 30min drive.  We held her hand as she tromped along, saying, "WOW!" "ROCK!" along w/ humming some tunes!  It was no question she was COMPLETELY ENJOYING HERSELF! 

Playing in the flowers...

Her stamina was better than ours, at times!  She's definitely got some 'Colorado Lungs' in her:)

It was nice to see a few people on the trail to take some family pics!

Once we decided to pick up the pace a bit, we strapped EA into the BackPack, as EA would say, "BAPAC!"  And, NO, there was NO CHANCE I would carry that thing w/ her in it...thank goodness for Daddy the Mule:)  That is Keystone Ski Area in the background!

We made it to the first Peak...gorgeous day, gorgeous scenery, gorgeous hubby + baby girl:)

Since EA was being such a great sport, we pushed a bit further to the second Peak!

...and someone had stacked up a big pile of rocks that EA just HAD TO CLIMB!!

On the descent, she got to ride on Daddy's shoulders part of the way...can you tell she's loving this too?!

Back @ the Trail Head, we got a pick w/ the sign...

We actually got close to 13,000ft elevation!!  So happy our adventure went perfectly...Elsie Anne is hooked, so our goal is to do a fun hike every other weekend:)
