Jude and Olive on the Pick-n-Sledge trail at Apex Park

Yesterday Jude had Rapids soccer and they just lost a close and hard-fought game, Jude played well. Anna did some refereeing and had a party at a school friend’s house that night. Marcy spent some time cleaning out the garage and running errands.

Sunday was another gorgeous day and I decided it was time to break out the hiking shoes. Jude and I (with Olive) did the closest challenging hike to our house – Apex Park right at the base of the foothills. It is only 20 minutes from our door to the parking lot and the hike gains a quick thousand feet in elevation. Jude and I were done with the 4.5 miles in just over 90 minutes. It was great to be out on the trail again and Olive enjoyed herself as well. We did see a baby rattlesnake but it was not interested in us at all.

Anna has been working hard on her school musical, staying back after school and working on it at home as well. They perform this coming week, we will all be going to her opening night performance.
