Our 3.5 Mile Hike To Emerald Lake!

This morning our family got adventurous and decided to go for a big morning hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park. We love the area around Bear Lake, so we thought we would take a trail from there and head up to Emerald Lake. It was a mostly up hill climb so that was fun, well maybe fun is not the right word, more like do-able. 

You can see from this picture that my husband is in great shape because he not only carried a big backpack (that contained our water, lunch and snacks), but he also was carrying Sebastian on his back!! And he did this for like 90% of the hike!! 

We finally made it to Emerald Lake!! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!! Don’t you just love my hat?! LOL!! I forgot mine so I had to wear Chris’s! What a fashion statement! It turned out to be a great day and we saw some beautiful sights! I just love Colorado!! We all had a great time, even Sebastian!

Just one last picture for proof that I did actually climb over 3.5 miles this morning!! Awesome!!
