Weather has been gorgeous in Colorado. However, Castle Rock is always a bit windy and despite the warm temperatures, it has been too windy to be outside with the girls for long periods of time. Last weekend, though, we got to go on our first warm-up hike for the season. We wanted to start easy and see how Kayleigh would do, so we headed to Rock Park to go up to the Castle Rock.

Kayleigh's first hike where she actually walked a good ways

The view at the summit, overlooking The Meadows - our housing community.  Somewhere over there is our house.  You'll have to ask Abby where.

Paul helps Abby find the direction of our house

Nice Father-Daughter picture

Kayleigh didn't last very long on her feet and ended up on my back, in the carrier, for most of the hike up

The hike up ends just under Castle Rock, where Paul, Abby, and Kayleigh sat and rested for a spell

Then Abby and Kayleigh explored some nooks and crevices

Heading back down

Steep steps for little legs
