Hiking Castlewood Canyon State Park

I always love surprises!  Especially when it means that TJ has came home early from work and is ready to have fun!  A few Fridays back, TJ showed up early from work and asked if we wanted to go play.  We loaded the car and headed to Castlewood Canyon State Park.  We got there and had dinner overlooking this beautiful bridge.  The kids LOVE to have picnics!  After we ate, we drove around to the other side of the park and went for a hike to the ruins of an old damn.  We had a great time enjoying nature and the cooler temperatures at night.

 When we pulled into the parking lot, we saw 5 deer, two bucks and three does.  The kids loved how close they were to us!  It was fun to see them and show the kids!

 Then we were off on our hike!

 We made it to the end of our hike to the ruins of the old damn!  It was a perfect hike for our little family!

It was beautiful!  We love to enjoy nature and get out as much as we can!  I hope our children always love the beauty of nature and all God has given us!
