Hike, Mountains & ONE YEAR!

Matt and I went on a short hiking trail yesterday to see the Doc Holliday grave/memorial site. It is just a half mile hike up the side of the mountain to the Pioneer Cemetery. I'll share some pictures of our trip!

Here we are in the car getting PUMPED UP for our hike!! :) (Don't worry mom... we didn't ACTUALLY go out in public looking like this!)


We stopped on the way up to take a picture together!


We had a contest to see if we could blow all of the things off of the weeds. Matt got ALL of his, and all but ONE of mine blew off. :( As you can see, I was quite sad...


This was the sign that was posted at the bottom of the hill...


The plaque next to the grave...



The cemetery was stretched all up the side of the mountain, so who knows where he was actually burried!


Matt's camera takes paneramic shots and he just recently figured out how to use it! He has taken some really neat pictures with it!



These are from a few days ago when it was really cloudy outside. This is actually a picture of where Mt. Sopris is, but the clouds were completely covering it up! It didn't even look like there was a mountain there!


A little later in the day, you could see the mountain again with the clouds along the bottom of it...


Even LATER in the day, the clouds were just all around the mountain. It looked really cool to see the storm clouds on the left, one cloud sitting on the mountain, and blue skies on the right.


Nearly everyday we are amazed by the things we see. The mountains, of course, are amazing. Sometimes we will go in a store and forget we are in the mountains and just be amazed all over again when we come out. We see deer and a fox or two nearly every day. Usually it is dark outside when we see them so we can't get a picture, but maybe we'll catch them one of these days!

On another note, as of today Matt and I have been dating for ONE YEAR! It hardy seems like it has been that long ago. We consider our "first date" when we went to the Rangers game last year on May 26. Instead of being mushy and lovey dovey, I'll just leave you with this picture. It was the first picture we ever took together! :)


Cute, huh? :)
