We had a brilliant idea to go up to Rampart, which is about 30min. from our house, it is a mountain area. We packed a picnic dinner and headed out. Larry was very excited to be able to take us on a dirt road in our car. Ashley couldn't figure out why the road was so bumpy.
We found a great picnic area and laid out a blanket for Hailey and had our little dinner. As we were walking Ashley saw a bunch of pine cones and thought it was animal poop?? I told her they were pine cones - "What is a pine cone?" WHAT??? Then it hit us - we have never taken Ashley or Hailey up into the mountains to explore. HELLO - We live in Colorado and our kids haven't played in the mountains??? Where have we gone so wrong in life?
We have taken Ashley to Breckenridge - but that was too shop.
Ashley had her first experience of peeing in the woods - she did great and was pretty happy about it. I saved her the embarrassment of not taking a picture of this great occasion.
We climbed on a bunch of big rocks and just explored a bit. We had to cut it short because of some bad clouds coming - but I promise that we will take our girls into the wilderness more!!
