We just went on a weekend getaway to Colorado. It has been a long time coming. As we were driving there we realized the last time we were in Montrose was at Christmas. Jared was able to make the trip with us and we had a lot of fun with mom and dad. On Friday we went up to Ouray and walked around town. Madi had fun running up and down the streets, since she is finally big enough to go without being carried or in a stroller. We were going to hike up to a waterfall, but it started raining and James, Madi and I all had flip-flops on. Dumb Californians! Next time we will be better prepared. Here are some photos from the day...

This trip we made it to the top and hiked around for a bit then enjoyed some yummy snacks.
Madi and Daddy
Madison did a lot of this...
We saw more waterfalls than I could count. About every 1/4 of a mile on the drive up we saw one coming off the mountains and at the top of the basin there was a waterfall every couple of hundred feet! Some were big and beautiful and others were smaller and you could walk through them. Everything was so green and wet this time of year.

Madi and her favorite dude, Uncle Jar-Jed
** No pictures of me on this hike... I was the designated photographer. I know you are all so sad, but don't worry... I will make an appearance soon :)

beautiful! It looks so cold, but doesn't seem to phase James at all as he's walking around in shorts & a t-shirt!
p.s looking forward to the pics of you cute thang!
That looks like some beautiful scenery. I too am like your mom I get extremely scared on steep narrow roads. I am glad you all made it home in one piece.
Looks like a fun trip. You look amazing. I love your hair!! And Madi is so adorable, as always. I miss you. :(
Looks like you all had a fun road trip. Funny story of your mom. I can just see it! We are leaving San Diego in 2 weeks. I am excited to get settled in Provo. See you soon!
Your Madi is too cute! That looks like it was a very nice trip. Yeah, I'm with your mom. I wouldn't have driven past that rock for nothin'. I would have had to get out of the car and walk around it.
What a gorgeous place! Looks like fun!
Hey James, you better watch out or I might just have to call the cops on you again!! All Paige needed was for you to insult her mommy. She's now officially walking, and she accepts your apology, but only because you're her friend Madi's daddy. :)
Chris-that looks like a lot of fun. I love hiking and seeing all that beauty. Hope your summer is going great. I've been so busy I think starting school will feel like a vacation. A change is truely as good as a rest. RaeAnn
