Alpine Lakes Loop Trail

This is the time of year that we try and manage our time wisely. Since school has started we are kinda living for the weekends now. Soon, a couple of those weekends will be taken by firewood duty. I'm thinking we'll be doing that the beginning of October. So we have a couple of weekends to play :)
Last Saturday Ava and I joined Janille, and her kids ~along with Hector and Breanna on the Alpine Lakes Loop Trail. It's so much more fun to hike with a group of people. Having a conversation while hiking is a wonderful distraction from the pain of lactic acid pumping through your tissues..... lol
Hector and Alyshia were a positive distraction for Ava. After the first half hour she forgot about the "work" she was doing.

After eating lunch by Stella Lake, we continued over to the next one: Teresa Lake:

That was a pretty fast 3 miles; especially with a 5 year old. Ava was piggy-backed by Hector once; but did most of the trail herself. Gotta get her conditioned for the wheel-a-thon on the 11th! Haha

I need to get back into shape myself! What the hell happened the last few months? lol
*sigh*
