This past weekend, my lil’ family once again headed outdoors to enjoy a camping adventure. This adventure was a bit out of the norm for us. Instead of camping by a lake or a river or in a meadow among the mountains, we camped in a parking lot. Instead of hiking to the top of a mountain or to a waterfall, instead of fly fishing, we rode our bikes. For 4 days, Winter Park ski resort hosted the Colorado Free Ride festival. I was in awe of the skill level of these riders. At what point do you decide that you want to do 360’s in midair and flip upside down? At what point do you have the courage to try that first one? I just kept thinking…this is way out of my comfort zone as a cyclist. I did not take many photos, but thought I would share just a few.
Wildflowers were blooming everywhere. We rode one of the mountain bike trails at the resort and then rode along the greenway with my lil’ guy and one of his friends. This little flower was growing right along a creek where we decided to stop for a snack.
Winter Park had numerous activities set up for the kids. One of which was free face painting…
Camping in a parking lot leaves one in need of sleep, but what an amazing weekend we had as a family. Sometimes, it is the little things.
That looks like fun! Love the daisy photo. Well, the kid’s face is super cool. Like you, I love taking photos of my kids, whenever they allow me – want to hold on to those angel looks as they grow fast…
We did have a fun weekend. My lil’ guy is pretty used to me having a camera in his face. And I agree, they grow way too fast.
More often or not it is the little things… love this post…
Agreed…and thanks for your kind words.
“Sometimes, it is the little things… ” that speaks volumes. this is a heartwarming series of a family activity.
I find that my lens helps me take notice of the little things. Thank you so very much for your lovely words.
