Key Hole- Devils backbone

The other day I went for a hike with another mom friend and her baby and my little 9 month old baby. It's a good workout hiking with your kid in the carrier! It was a really sunny fall day, perfect for a hike. We're going to make it happen more often, we decided. Some day I want to do the full 14 mile hike to horsetooth reservoir in Ft. Collins. If you're ever in Loveland, Colorado and looking for a short 2 mile hike, go to Devils Backbone! There are rattle snakes there sometimes on the trail so just as you normally would, stay aware of what's on the trail. And wear pants and socks if you are extra nervous about critters, it is just nature though so don't freak too much, it's normal..and snakes won't chase you so just tread lightly!

Idaho

Every month or 2 we go to Idaho to see our family there. It is so pretty in the Western states. I'm so happy we live in Colorado, so I have the privilege to travel very easily since we live in central U.S.A! My husband and I have started to thoroughly enjoy traveling. We just started collecting magnets for the side of our fridge from each state we visit! We've been to Idaho many times also  Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Texas, Wyoming, Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska together. One of my dream trips is to travel to most of the Eastern states together as a family. We would also love to travel to Michoacan, Mexico to visit his sister and her son and his grandma. We would love for our daughter to meet the great grandma she's named after!  Our trips to Idaho are always fun and we love the scenery in South Eastern Idaho and have even talked, or dreamed about buying land there. We drive out to the wolverine canyon most visits, and it is an open recreation area to camp, ride A...

Minnesota Christmas

We drove to Minnesota to be with our family for Christmas day and it was super fun to see our family and friends. I love going to my parents and taking a piping hot sauna. They have a wood fired stove. I saw 8 of my siblings, 2 of my sisters were in Monroe, Washington and 1 of my brothers was in Detroit, Michigan with their spouse's family. We also took all the dogs on some long walks. We all like dogs so whenever we get together there's about 7 dogs running around. The dirt road we walk down is really quiet and it rarely sees a car because there's only about 3 people that live on it I love Minnesota it had a piece of my heart in it. I love the snowy winters, Caribou coffee tastes delicious, and it is always nice to see my family and friends that live there. Also living in Colorado is quite the experience, I've never lived by the mountains before and it is really pretty. We've bought a house here and we're lucky that my husband's job provides for us...

Echo Mountain skiing

At the beginning of January I went to Echo Mountain to ski with my friends. It was absolutely amazing. Towards the end of the night it started to get really cold. Echo Mountain is a great place to start out and begin skiing or snowboarding. I have to say it was icy so that was a downfall and all of the runs were not open because there wasn't enough snow. But I would still go back to teach my daughter how to ski because **bonus** kids 5 and under are FREE!💃☀️⛷ I love this saying - "The mountains are calling and I must go." John Muir is credited for writing it in a letter. He was morn in 1838, he was one of America's most famous and influential "outdoor enthusiasts,"  which in his era, were called naturalists. He remains one of California's most important historical personalities and is generally still known today as one of the Father's of our National parks. He once described himself as,  a "poetico-trampo-geologist-botanist and ornithologist-n...
