Popcorn

The big boys went to school and this little one wanted to do something fun.  I pulled out the popcorn popper and we had ourselves a little popcorn party!

This little one LOVED it!!

Cataract Creek

One of the most glorious places in Colorado happens to be only 2 hours away from our house.  It's called Cataract Creek and it's a secret.  It was leaked to us from our friend Star.

We love to pack a picnic of sandwiches, chips, and grapes and go on up for a relaxing adventure.  The lake is ice cold and happens to be perfect when you need to dip your feet in after a hike.  Tree climbing and exploring are encouraged and its always a bonus to spot some wild animals.

Of course, it's mandatory to stop by the outlets on our way home and find a fun shirt or hat at the Underarmor store.
