Ahhh. So beautiful






Dolomites Italy 2012.
We had a great week.  Had another life experience.  Went through rain, snow, hail, wind, fog...and finally sun and warmth!  We only had one accident, and it wasn't even on the mountains, it was on a bike ride!  We had our share of taking wrong turns and having to hike up and down and up and down again.  Ugh.  Good exercise all around, but the marathon day was 8 hours of straight hiking and only 10 minute breaks here and there.  By the end of the hike we were so tired we had to concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other:  we didn't even talk.  Now that is tired.  I have to admit that Colie is the '5 Crown' queen.  I lost the week long running game.  Plenty of superb food, back massages, being outdoors all day, and running the schedule to our pleasure.

Mom, please post your pictures bigger. If you dont' know how, call me and I'll tell you. :)
It really is beautiful, but mostly I am jealous of a week alone with you!

I love the headstand shot as well. So fitting.

I don't think I'd ever be able to keep up with you and Colie on a hiking trip. You girls have crazy endurance! Those mountains look incredible but I'm sure the pictures don't even come close to doing them justice!

Even though I was there the pictures still look fake ... it's too gorgeous to be real!
Thanks for taking me on an adventurous mother-daughter trip. Love ya!
