14ers and balloon festival

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

We’ve been busy so I havn’t posted in a while but we’ve done some fun things. For my birthday we went to the mountains and climbed a couple of peaks. There are the three mountains right together, Democrat, Lincoln, and Bross. Last year we went there and Dave went up all three but Carin and I just went up Democrat. So, Dave was nice enough to go back and go up Lincoln and Bross with me. Woody went as well but Molly is officially in ‘retirement’ from climbing.

This morning was the annual balloon festival at Chatfield State Park (the one about 3 miles from our house). So we got up early and went down and watched the balloons take off this morning.
