Remember September {Part 3}

Another Saturday, another amazing hike through the glorious Colorado gold.  Today (September 27th) we decided (with the rest of residents of the Vail Valley, apparently - this trail was packed!) to try out the East Lake Creek Trail.  We've been on this trail multiple times since we moved here.  It's one of our favorites to take visitors to since we drive through our favorite area, Lake Creek, to get there.  The infamous Monday Night Hike picture of Callie screaming her poor little head off (see #17 here) was taken at this trailhead.  Our first-ever Monday Night Hike over two years ago was on this trail, and that was as far as we'd ever ventured . . . until today.  The sun was warm, the leaves were blazing, and we had a very happy hiker in the backpack, so we went a little further than we had gone before, which happened to be a bridge over lovely Lake Creek (I'm just going to guess that's what it was, but I don't actually know).  We seem to like making bridges our destinations on hikes, so we parked it there for a few minutes to enjoy the view.  Callie learned a new word on the way back to the car: "wow!" and I say I'd just have to agree.

I love this little-bum view.

Can you handle the cuteness?

If you look at the next few photos really
quickly in succession (think flip-book
style) you'll see Cal's latest trick in action.

Juuuuu-

uuuummp!

My favorite part is how pleased she is.
She really thinks she's jumping.

And, because I just can't resist the cuteness, and I doubt that you can, either, 

I've got two jumping videos for your viewing pleasure:

Jump! Video Uno

Jump! Video Dos 

This one is little hazy because it's taken through the
windshield on the drive back down through Lake Creek.
But we just had to stop, because "Wow!"
