We took a trip out to Colorado in the beginning of August (Mike finally could take vacation from work!) and Mike went on a backpacking trip with my parents and my aunt and uncle from Michigan. It has been 4 years since they took their first backpacking trip, so everyone was excited to tackle it again!! They left from Maroon Bells and hiked for 4 days/3 nights over 4 different passes (it was something like 28 miles total). Mike had a FABULOUS time and can't wait to do it again (he's hoping that I can come next time...if I'm not pregnant again!)
The group of hikers at Maroon Bells...still energetic and not too smelly yet!
I just think this is the cutest picture of my parents!!!!

Taking a rest break
Here's Mike waiting for the others to catch up!
They took pictures on top of each of the 4 passes...here they are on the top of the 2nd pass.

Mike was able to do lots of fishing, which he loved! And he caught like 30 fish!
On top of the 3rd pass...bet they weren't smelling so good right about now!
My mom was amazing!!
And here they are from a Wendy's parking lot after the hike. From here they all drove to Glenwood Springs where my sister, the kids and I were waiting for them at the hot springs pool. More pictures of our adventure in the next post!
