Mother's Day picnic and new mountain bike (frame)

Sunday morning it was beautiful outside! At about 730 we were able to go sit outside and catch some rays on the deck. The baby began to tell us (well Natalie anyway) that he/she wanted to go out for a drive and to play in the stream. I think he/she was also enjoying the warmth of the sunshine (from within mommy's belly...)

We had talked about heading over Cottonwood pass toward Aspen/Carbondale, but instead decided to head up Valley road. We were trying to get up to Lede Reservoir which is about 30 miles of dirt road from the house. About a mile or so from the lake we ran into some muddiness and patches of snow, still deep enough to prevent us from trying to get all the way to the top. So we backed down the hill and headed back down a few miles to one of the campsites along the road. This one was especially nice because it had a little island where the creek flowed around it, and it was a nice little play area for the dogs.
A little profile pic of mommy on mothers day standing along Gypsum Creek.
Daddy walking through the stream followed by the two puppies who actually like playing in the water.... and yes, it was a little chilly....Not going to be just us two and the dogs for very much longer....The new NINER mountain bike frame! The white looks pretty sharp. Will get it built up sometime in the next couple of weeks and post pics.
