Colorado

It's nearing the end of my trip to Colorado, so I figured I may as well post some pictures and news of what's all been going on here. My aunt, uncle and cousin live here along with their dog Dillon.
I've been getting some great girl time with my aunt and hanging out with the rest of the family at night and on the weekends. I guess some people work for a living.

This is Dillon. Every day after everyone does their morning workout, my aunt and I take Dillon to the park to run all his energy out of his system. He's a golden retriever, who doesn't retrieve. He goes after the ball and takes it under a tree and drops it... then waits for you to walk over and throw it again. While you throw it, he hunkers down into the grass like a lion, except that he doesn't look very intimidating at all. I tried so hard to get a picture of him doing it, but he wasn't very cooperative. This is the closest I could get. Doesn't he look scary?

For physical activity I've been walking, riding a stationary bike and doing water aerobic stuff. It's been pretty frustrating to go work out with the intention of holding back. When I'm doing water aerobics, I want to swim. When I go for a walk, I feel the urge to run. Well today we all went for a big hike in the mountains above Boulder. The altitude and my convalescense made it a little tough, but I kept up. My cousin carried my lunch though. That was sweet of him.

This is the view from the trail. I believe that's looking out toward Rocky Mountain National Park.

And this of course, is me taking a lunch break at Saddle Rock. After that we headed all the way back down to the car. I got home and took at pretty solid nap. Overall it went very well and I was glad to get a real workout in.
