pikes peak.

this past weekend we set out to go do 'something.' well, everyday we wake up seeing pikes peak so why not go to the top (drive, not climb). vance always calls pikes peak the guys name that first climbed it, zebulon, i can never remember so i have renamed it zz top. so we did it, went to the top of zebulon's peak, zz's topper, or whatever you want to call her.

on the way there, there was a moment where both boys were crying and i said "well, i'm not having a good time" vance replied, 'well, i'm not having a good time with both boys crying and my wife upset" and he was right...i needed an attitude change. i'm glad he called me out on it b/c it was a GREAT day with my family.

...we sorta panicked while we were up there. all lane wanted to do was RUN. uhm yeah, running on top of a mountain just doesn't work. but, we did bring a camera for him to play with. he took pictures of EVERYTHING that we took pictures of. it was SO cute, possibly the highlight of my trip.













and this is possibly my most favorite picture of the whole day b/c it SO captures this season in my (and gage's) life. we're in the car...eating and sleeping.

and the whole way down. silence.

on the way home we took the looong way. it was a gorgeous drive but lane was more excited about the green fruit roll-ups.


these boys needed a bath when they got home. bath time cuites...
