Our "hike"

Jackson bummed about another failed attempt at hiking

Obviously we are not meant to hike! We drove up to Golden Gate Canyon State Park in Golden, CO. It is gorgeous up there. However, as soon as we exited our vehicle it began pouring buckets of rain. Keep in mind we left Parker on a gorgeous, hot and sunny day. 40 minutes later we were in a downpour. Arg! MacKenzie and I gave hiking in the rain a try, but it was not fun. It was cold and wet- duh.

We gave up on the hike and came home. We broke down and went out to dinner tonight to a BBQ place called Hickory House. We'd been there before but it was much better this time. (They had baked potatoes this time, S. Pete!!) They have sweet tea which is like finding water in a desert around here.


Other than that a pretty quiet day around the Petefish home. We napped and watched Olympics. Not a bad Saturday!

Poor little drowned Mackenzie! You didn't say but I would bet she had a bath when she got home.
Weekends seems to be a little wet in CO. :)
Maybe God's way of keeping you from hiking on a bum knee...that is this Mom's opinion.

I love you!! Have a great Sunday.

I second Deb's comment about hiking on a bum knee...there's a reason it's not healing!!!!! WEAR FLATS AND WORKOUT WITH NON-WEIGHT BEARING CARDIO...i.e. bike or elliptical!!

Love you and miss you tons!
