Happy Fourth of July

It just wouldn't be the Fourth of July in Colorado without going for a hike.  Christine, Molly, and I headed out first thing in the morning to Golden Gate Canyon State Park, in the mountains above Golden.  I got to drive Pepper up an awesome windy mountain road, and we picked out a nice hard (but short) hike to kick out butts.  Felt good, since we'd both been slacking on the running ever since the half marathon...

Molly was just looking at the camera, then as soon as I pressed the shutter, she snapped her head to the side.

And she did it again...  But Christine looks awesome!

Molly is a happy hiker.



"What are you waiting for guys?  Enough with the pictures!  Let's go!!"

So the hike was great.  Glad we got out there early; it ended up being a very hot day-- 101 in Denver.  And, it really wouldn't be a Fourth without grilling, so we had a nice spread of burgers, chips, and guac after sunbathing.
