Bo and Mrs. L at the top! He totally smoked me- practically dragged both of us up the mountain
Mr. L and Mr. Bo half way up! Funny story-- it started to rain as we got to the top and started the trek down on the 3.5 mile trail, and a few steps later it was an all out downpour and hailstorm. We were miserable but Bo was leading the way... I see what they mean about "hearty and rugged" as a description for his breed!
I haven't posted anything about our little man in a while... Isn't he handsome? Getting big... and smart. I have never seen such a smart and sweet dog EVER! I might be a bit biased though...
Our Easter Bunny Cake
And the fun cake for Malia's First Birthday. Complete with purple and green icing layers on the inside!
And I didn't help one bit! LOVE IT!
The view of Pikes Peak from the top
Mr. L taking a break at the Summit
We did it!
Way more fun to see where you've been than where you still have to go!
Steeeeeep! At it's steepest, the incline is a 68% grade!
It's .8 mile up, but it ascends 2500 feet. Crazy!
It's technically a de-commissoned Cog Railroad and is "technically" private property. Tell that to the thousands of hikers who frequent it!
Still Smiling! It took us (well me, I was the hold-up) 1 hour and 14 minutes to make it up, and about 45 minutes to get down the 4-mile trail that zig-zags down the mountain. I'm up for going again soon!
Solid wood frame and backing, metal flower design. LOVE it! And it was only $25! I unscrewed the back and was able to take it apart to clean the glass behind the design. Not sure where it will go yet-- maybe in the new basement?
