Only in Colorado can you go hiking one day and sledding the next, with the likelihood to go hiking again in a couple days.
On Thursday, Stacey and I took the kiddos for the first hike of the season. We went up a trail right across from the street from Tyler's parents house. According to Yvonne and Rilyn - we went up to Grandma's rock.
The trail was pretty muddy with snow in some spots, but Rilyn did really well and only wanted a lift from Stacey a couple times. She even tried climbing some rocks after seeing some boys scale them like Batman.
Of course all my "good ideas" usually turn into failures - this one ended in a nice little fall for Ryder, Rilyn, and myself. Ryder came out unscathed thanks to the protection of the carrier and one of my arms, but poor Rilyn got dragged down by me and ended up with a bleeding lip and a scraped up hand. My leg probably got the worst of it. The good news is the kids are okay and I've learned my lesson to wear pants when hiking.
Then yesterday we got about a foot of snow so we had to take advantage of what might be the last good snow of the season. And Tyler and Rilyn created the cutest little snowman ever today!
And nothing to do with this post but we had to do some practice for some egg hunts coming up and lots of cuddling :)
Stayed tune for some gorgeous weather pictures coming up this week since it's supposed to be in the high 60's this week!

Love this post and all the activity and fun! Glad you guys got to hike (bummer about the hurt leg though!) and play in the snow.
