Today we spent the day with my parents and my sister. We went for a hike up the Pajarito Ski hill. The summit elevation was 10,510ft and we climbed up a black diamond trail to make it to the top (a 1,400ft vertical ascent)! We hiked with 4 kids under the age of 7, and they all made it to the top. In fact, I wore my flip flops (my everyday staple) and had no problems hiking UP the mountain in them, coming down was another story. My sister was kind enough to give me one of her shoes, so we could make back down. The hike was good (there was a bit of adjustment going from sea level to 10 thousand feet), the views were spectacular and the wild flowers were amazing!

Did you break out into song? Oh c'mon you know "The hills are alive with the sound of music?" I know Matt did, didn't he?
You guys are super cute! And that place is gorgeous! Love the one shoe thing? Did it really help?
