Mt. Park

After church on Sunday, June 28th we headed up to Mountain Park in the Poudre Canyon for our annual church picnic. M&D like to tell the story that this is where they fell in love! It was the annual picnic weekend that M first attended the church in Ft. Collins and D did invite her up. After eating, it is tradition to go on the nature hike, so M&D started off with the group, ended up pretty much by themselves (with future sister-in-law Renee as their chaperone!!), and spent the whole time talking, which led to their marriage 10 months later!!
Anyhow, for this year, the water was super high so M brought my lifejacket since she knew she couldn't keep me away from the water. I was well behaved though, I never went in past my ankles! It was too cold to go further in!!Notice the rafters behind me!
After playing in the water, I wanted to go on the hike D had already left on. So M figured she would start at the end of the loop and just hike until she met up with the group. I hiked about 1/2 mile before I started getting really tired, so we sat to wait for just a few minutes. We were just about to head back down when we saw D and the rest of the hikers coming.
It was a good day!
