We are having a great time hanging out with friends enjoying their celebration and listening to our friends Microwave Dave and the Nukes.
Hanging Out with Friends

Barr Camp Hike
The weather started out great today, but after leaving Barr Camp, I felt sprinkles and heard thunder nearby. I covered over 12.5 miles so I expect to feel rough tomorrow in my legs.
I posted some photos taken along the way, too. You can see them here.
Bear Creek Regional Park Hike
It was a great day for getting outdoors. The temperature was 73°F with a few clouds. I hiked in the Bear Creek Regional Park, which is filled with trails suitable to bikes, horses, and people. The creek itself is tiny. It feeds into Fountain Creek, which runs by America the Beautiful Park.
The hike was about 7.5 miles and a little less than two hours of total time.
I snapped a few photos along the hike, but the GPS unit’s camera is not too good with the lighting.
Pikes Peak Greenway
I had a great walk on part of Pikes Peak Greenway starting from American the Beautiful Park. The weather is just amazing today with 72°F and light breeze.
I walked past all sorts of parks and recreation facilities. The trail was full of lots of other people enjoying the day, too. I will have to do this again, but in the opposite direction. Overall, I went 6.5 miles.
Ronning Get Together
Karen arrived for a family get together and a chance to use her metal detector. We met at Willis Chapel.
Everyone had a great time.
We even stopped at the gate to Karen’s grandparent’s old homestead. It a 200 acre area that the family calls Old Mountain. Karen’s brother decide to ride on to look at it closer. It was getting late so we had to head on home.
Face Painting Fun
Katie Beth is having a blast today and the excitement has not stopped.
We are having dinner at Mellow Mushroom and Gabrielle is here doing Face Painting. Gabrielle is wonderful. She is painting bracelets on Katie Beth.
Here are the results, which I think are nice. They are a big improvement over the traditional face painting.
Hopefully, Katie Beth will not rub it off during the night. She likes to see things, but she doesn’t like having stuff on her. But, dirt is fine from what I can tell.

Awesome day!
It’s an awesome day to be out in the treehouse. The weather is just super with the temperature at 77°F.
Hot salsa from Bandito Burrito is just perfect.
First Four Leaf Clover of the Season
Katie Beth found her first four leaf clover of the season.
The weather is just wonderful today so Karen and Katie Beth went to a park to play after school let out early today.
Katie Beth’s First Time Bowling
Katie Beth had a blast bowling with her Aunt Hope, Charlie, and Hannah while her Aunt Faith tried hard to take photos of everything.
Hopefully, we didn’t over do it. Nothing like the annual bowling event to kill your arm!

Croquet Anyone?
We came out for the Easter egg hunt today at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. Katie Beth had a blast with the five and six your old children hunt. She got two golden eggs.
We stopped for a big game of croquet.
