House Exterior Before & After!

Before:

After! We had the house painted and I spray painted the brass light fixtures, numbers and door handle with a $3 can of silver spray paint! And beautiful new grass :)

Late Summer day trip

Joe and I got out for a day trip to Golden & Mt. Bierstadt for a hike. I love to make use of all of the great day trips that Colorado has to offer--I definitely don't do it often enough!

We went to the alpine slide near Golden, CO--it's a fun ride in a little sled down the hill--yippee!

One of Colorado's cute old mountain towns--I'm not even sure the name, oops!

I'll have to ask Joe

We attempted to hike a "14er"---(this means it's a mountain over 14,000 feet) I have only done one in my life--Quandary Peak. Joe has done probably over 20! This is Mount Bierstadt--Unfortunately we got a late start so we didn't make it to the top. We almost made it though!--we could see the the summit right ahead of us but decided to turn around because there was lightning ahead--the smart choice I suppose ;)

The scenery was beautiful!

Afterwards we were starving so we treated ourselves to Beau Jo's "Colorado Style" pizza--yum!
