This is what we proclaimed as we climbed mountain trails and looked out over beautiful vistas! I have grown up around mountains my whole life, but this was breath-taking. Upon the advice of our hostess, we took this road to a delightful little lake.
After walking around a bit, we decided to be adventurous. Because we are on a road trip. and being adventurous is what one does when on a road trip. So we took this road and wound around these mountain gulch roads until we began to wind our way UP the mountain. We followed some signs to this parking lot with some trails leading off of it. And from there we found a fantastic view of a valley. The clouds provided shadows and sunlight which highlighted crevices and peaks. We sang "How Great Thou Art" because it was a natural response when looking out over God's fantastic creation!
(this pic cannot do the view justice. but that is a little taste of it)
(Me and heather on top of the world!)
(you should know that I jumped up to my place on the rock after pressing the camera timer. that's how awesomely ninja-ish I am.)
(When one does not have a fourth person to take pictures, one gets innovative on how to capture precious moments at the trail head!)
(These are called "Grandelions! Tasha was really enthusiastic about blowing the fuzz and making a wish!)
(On our way down, we found this white fences around this perfect meadow. and we just HAD to document it!)
(It had been storming and so after it cleared, we saw this PERFECT rainbow. SO amazing!)
(At this point you should be jealous. because this is the proof that we are loyal fans of American History. This is where we paid our respects to one of the best rough-riding cowboys of the wild-wild-west. William "Wild Buffalo Bill" Cody. it was epic.)
(This is one of the vistas we found. It was utterly breathtaking to see these rolling mountains that went on forever)

Anyway, as you can see, Colorado has held some magnificent adventures! We are enjoying each others company and haven't killed each other yet. So that is always a plus.
Next is Wyoming and a pretty happenin' Rodeo! So keep checking for updated blog posts with pictures of that!
We love you all...and honestly, I think none of us realized how grown up we would feel on this trip. So parents...this is for you. All the patience, teaching, love, correction and prayers you've poured into our lives. I don't think any of us would be here right now if not for your love and support of us!

The LORD is [our] keeper;
The LORD is [our] shade on [our] right hand.
The sun will not smite [us] by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD will protect [us] from all evil;
He will keep [our] soul[s].
The LORD will guard [our] going out and [our] coming in
From this time forth and forever.
(psalm 121:5-8)
