devil's head

mid may we went hiking devil's head with chris's family. i'm loving all of these cool places near here. people always tell me colorado is beautiful but i honestly just never see it. it'll never be beautiful like georgia, like the east coast. but, drive a few hours and it's its own kind of beautiful.

this was one of my favorite views from the hike. it was from the fire lookout hut.


this is bill ellis. he gave us a little certificate when we made it! he's been watching for fires from that little hut for the last thirty something years. he was precious.


this picture totally creeps me out. tell me if i'm wrong, but does it not look like on of those pictures they put on the news about missing people. "carrie hillier went hiking with her family in devil's head just five days ago. this picture was taken just hours before she disappeared. she went back to the car to grab a sweatshirt and never came back. her family is devastated as there has been no trace of her since." can you see it? ps- the real reason for this strange photo was that christopher forgot to zoom out before he snapped the shot.


let me tell you, i have felt few winds as refreshing as the winds we are enjoying in this picture.


so fun. too bad we don't do this stuff more often.

easter weekend

i know i know, i'm so behind. i don't feel like making excuses. anyways, here are some pictures from our day trip to colorado springs and dying easter eggs with chris's family.


this is my christopher on top of the world!!! or just on top of a rock, but don't tell him that. we were so geared up to go hiking through garden of the gods. unfortunately on the drive down it started snowing and it continued, on and off for the whole day. still, we made the most of it. ;-)


helen falls. the free version of seven falls.
at the top of the falls. it was so beautiful!


christopher, hard at work.


he is gifted. if j crew sold easter eggs, they would look like this, i'm sure.


we dyed a lot of eggs. haha this isn't even half of them. ;-)
