Two Fourteeners!

Yesterday we left the girls in the care of Auntie Mary and her friend Jen, and we went with a big group to hike Grays Peak and Torreys Peak. We had to leave very early, and caravanned up to the trailhead via a very bumpy two-track road. We started the hike at 6:45am and got to the first peak at 10am. Not bad for 3+ miles uphill at high elevation!









Then we hiked down and back up to get to Torreys Peak. It was so beautiful and clear and there was hardly a cloud in the sky (very rare). We enjoyed lunch at the top, and took lots of pics before heading down. In all, we hiked for 7.5 hours!!











Then we went back to shower and see the girlies at Jen's (air-conditioned) place. They had a fun day of ice cream, movies, a playground, and swimming!

We moved to Auntie Erica's house to sleep there for the rest of our visit. We all slept well last night!!
