Last Sunday we decided to go up high on the mountain to enjoy the aspen leaves. My friend Jenny had captured such
beautiful photos earlier in the week, and I was hoping to get some snapshots of the kids with the vibrant yellow background. But alas, most of the leaves had fallen in just a few short days.
We went for a walk along the nature trail, which is stroller accessible and had fun logs for balancing.
It was chilly, but a beautiful sunny day.
We found the same tree Desert Boy had posed at a couple years ago. I need to dig out those photos!
We tried a posed photo on this big rock, but the impromptu goofing around turned out much better.
I handed the camera to my husband so I could be in some photos, and Desert Boy and I found this nice tree stump chair.
Then we had fun playing balancing games. When I was a little girl, I loved walking on the curbs in my town. (And walked into parking meters, my mother tells me.) I still like walking on narrow things where I have to balance.
Desert Boy seems to be learning balance well.
We even tried a little dancing.
Desert Boy had so much energy that we decided to do the loop trail again, but run this time. So I guess maybe I should call this post a run in the woods! It takes a little extra energy at 10,000 feet!

I walked into a parking meter once, also! It really hurt.
