New Adventures Part 1

Nathan's family came to visit and really enjoyed a break from the hot temps of Oklahoma. We enjoyed treating them with special home cooked meals.



It turned out to be an exciting weekend with new adventures, the biggest one being a drive up to Mt. Evans, on the highest paved road in North America. The road up the mountain is steep at times, but not a bad drive and the views just spectacular.





Mountain goats roamed freely and we had fun chasing them for pictures and videos.





Oliver had a rough time in the car but once at the top he calmed down and enjoyed hiking with Granddaddy and Grandma.





Even though it's August, on top of Mt Evans it hardly ever gets above 40 degrees so we all donned coats and hats. Thursday morning around 11am the clouds were definitely rolling in since it usually rains in the afternoons.



Nathan and I drove up again even earlier Sat morning around 8am and it felt even colder with pretty intense winds. But the sky was clear and it was a beautiful morning to be on top of the world.
