saturdays are for fun, family, & fotos {not for cleaning!}: we headed out this saturday morning to colorful COLORADO {with a cranky baby} to take some photos, eat some food, & swim at the durango aquatic center. the mountains already feel like the start of a new fall season. the leaves are just barely starting to change yellow, the grass is beginning to die, & the cool fresh air tingled our bare skin. we made our way to hesperus ski resort {paul had his heart set on "poppin some shots" at the ski barn} & hiked up the small hill {which was covered in cow patties...ew}.

nora was so curious in this new place, she did not want to sit still for very long. but paul got some awesome shots of us {i love watching him look for the perfect shot}. paul pulled on some poision oak {or ivy...?} & had an irritated hand for the rest of the day {darn it}. we wrapped up our personal photo session, headed into durango {ate lunch @ steamworks} & swam to our hearts content.

i love my little family.

it was a good day.
