Man do I miss those Rocky Mountains. There is something about they way the smell, that wonderful fresh mountain air. I miss the sounds of the birds and streams. I miss the peacefulness.
I wanted to go visit the mountains everyday I was there, but alas things got busy and we had other plans and so Friday we just went and spent as much time as we could. We drove to three trail heads before we finally found one that was kid approved.
We go for a lot of walks here in Kansas but the kids just had a blast walking in the mountains. They loved running through the tall grass, finding wildflowers and throwing rocks into the stream. I am pretty sure they love the mountains as much as their mom and dad do. 
On the way down the mountain we decided to stop and see Red Rocks Amphitheater. I have seen so many awesome concerts here; Incubus and Dave Mathew's Band being a few of my favorite times. It was such a hard workout too to climb to the bottom of the Amphitheater but the kids did awesome and loved the giant red rocks all around. 
You got to dance when you are at Red Rocks!
We were all so pooped from our awesome adventures in the mountains. I hope that we can go back again soon and enjoy so many more parts of the Rockies. Another thing I just love about Colorado!
