Last Hurrah

Reed and I decided to do something fun for our last weekend before school started. We headed to Colorado Friday afternoon after work. Reed and I went to a little pizza place we heard was good. It was a interesting place that's for sure. There was one dollar bills all over the walls, not exactly sure why. When we asked them what the story was they gave us markers and a staple gun to add to the collection, so we did :)

  

  

We woke up super early Saturday morning to hike Engineer mountain between Durango and Silverton. We have been before but it was in the dark so it was a different experience since we could see. :)

 

After our hike we went to Purgatory to mountain bike with Reed's brothers. They take you to the top on the lift and there are different trails you ride down. It was super fun.

After a long day of mountain biking we headed to cascade falls to cool off. I didn't jump in this time but hiked down to the last fall instead to just watch.

It was a fun jam packed weekend but it was worth it and we had so much fun. Now its back to real life since school started Monday and it is going to be busy!

Family Reunion

{July 28-30}
A couple weekends ago Reed and I went to a family reunion for Reed's side of the family in Vallecito Colorado. Reed's parents have 17 grand kids (plus one grand-dog:) under 9 and they were all there except for one. There was never a dull moment with that many kids around. We were constantly on the go playing games, going to the lake, playing some more games, it was so much fun. I don't have many pictures yet so these will have to do.

It was so nice spending time in the mountains for a few days with some family that we don't get to see very often.
