“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."- John Muir

Kyle and I had a very eventful weekend! On Friday night we went to my co-worker/friend's house for some food, drinks and good company. We had a great time and met many new friends! Then on Saturday, we decided that we wanted to go hiking. We thought it would be a perfect day for Estes Park! Landon and Mista came with us too:-)  We decided to do a 4.5 mile hike. The elevation was over 10,000 ft!

The trail was absolutely beautiful with some fabulous views! But...HELLO ELEVATION! This was the first time that I had hiked at this elevation and it got the best of me. For awhile, I was very lightheaded and almost felt like I would get sick. But luckily, with moral support and lots of water I made it through! It did start to rain on our way down, which made the temp drop about ten degrees and of course we didn't come prepared for that.  We can only laugh now. It took us about half the time to get down as it did to get up because we ran down the mountain we were so cold! Once we got back down the mountain, the temp was back to normal again so we decided to go walk around Estes. They had a street of shops that we wanted to check out. There was a ton of old shops with jewelry, home decor, clothing, candy, ice cream,  souvenir shops, etc! Kyle and Landon found this cute little bench to enjoy some coffee!

We can't wait to go bike and do some of the other hikes and hopefully some camping too!

Today, Kyle went and helped Matt with some stuff around the house and I spent the afternoon cleaning and running some errands! After that, we decided to go to City Grill for dinner. On the way there, we noticed the sky was absolutely beautiful. It was purple, and blue, and black, and there was even a rainbow. (It had rained earlier). I took this picture of the Cathedral, I thought the sky looked so awesome!

Now, we are relaxing and watching some movies..... Oh and re-cooperating from the hike yesterday! I am quite sore...my legs sure got a workout! We hope you all had a fabulous weekend and have a great week:-)

Kyle and Sarrah
