Group Trip to the Mountains

Our small group has been together for five years now, so we took a trip to the mountains to celebrate!  We stayed between Tabernash and Grand Lake - it was beautiful!
The house had a foosball table - tons of fun!

We went on a hike in Grand Lake to Adams Falls:
 Griffin loved running on the trail
Holding hands with Cohen 
Grace and Daddy 
the falls are awesome! 
Griffin and I hiked down to get a closer look at the falls and snapped this picture 
Griffin and Grace checking out the waterfall

Group picture
On the hike we saw three moose - they were so close to the trail!  This picture isn't even zoomed in! 
Cohen just turned three!  The boys helped Laurie make him a cake... 
and had fun celebrating! 
The proud 3 year old 
The kids decorated their own cupcakes and Griffin was very concerned about making sure Grace had enough sprinkles 
The kids loved watching the rain come down! 

And then we saw a huge double rainbow ... it was amazing!
 

The kids had a dance party ... 
Griffin dancing 
Isaac dancing 
Grace loves doing sumersaults! 
And Griffin loves doing kart wheels 
Cohen and Griffin being silly 
Once again there was a train that went right by our house ... here Griffin and Cohen are watching it

On the way home we drove through Rocky Mountain National Park - the views are amazing!  We hiked up to check out the views:
 
it was windy!
Daddy is the favorite these days so he had his hands full!
Stella : ) 
We stopped at Oskar Blues Brewery in Lions on the way home ... the boys loved that their juice looked like coffee cups!
