Hello Colorado

The first day of school...Ashley is a sophomore, Hunter in 8th grade. School for Ashley starts at 7:10 am...we have to leave at 6:30am while living in the apt...it's making for interesting mornings! I can't believe how close they are getting to being grown ups!!
The view of Pikes Peak from our apartment window..You can see the light tan on the top portion of the mountain~ that's the snow line
We are getting acquainted with the new critters in our new town..this little guy was found on a trail and was about 4 inches long...pretty cool
Our first little hike in Colorado...the top of Helen Hunt Falls..Wow! We are standing in the Rocky Mountains

Helen Hunt Falls
They are enjoying Colorado
driving through Cheyenne Canyon
wildlife is everywhere and not afraid of us...this buck mule deer was right outside the truck window and didn't mind me taking his picture while he snacked on the leaves
This is what happens when you move to a new town and your parents leave you alone while they shop for house stuff...they found the dress up box at our friend's house..quite the little drama lovers!
