Okay so Saturday we took a GREAT hike up the North Ten Mile Trail, which enters the White River National Forest.  There were great wild flowers, open meadows with mountain streams, waterfalls and an nice trail.  But there was no camera!  Oops.  Ryan carried Claire up the trail in the child carrier (THANK YOU! from the oxygen/altitude deficient) and she slept from 100 yards out of the parking lot to almost the halfway point of our walk.  Dad then carried her down hill, and she got to see everything then.  From there we went to the Frisco BarBQ festival where we learned that a long line means they are slower, not that the BBQ is the best...it did actually rain that day too, but Claire was a trooper.  

Sorry, no pictures today. 

Here we spend some time scoping for the elusive family picture with no thumbs in it...and no blurs, and everyone looking at the camera, and eyes open, and mouths in an acceptable position...

Uncle Ryan showed Claire how cold the water is here moments before this picture.  I think his feet are numb in this picture, but you would never know it, and Claire is very happy. 

Dude, I can't reach the pedals!  Just put me in the basket okay.

Sick!

Here are some pictures of our first full day in Breck.  Ryan and Missy went to work on Friday, and we went hiking and goofing off around town.  We met up with Ryan on the green after work.  He and Claire get along very well.  Here is Ryan, who is capable of staying still for more than 1/125 for a picture.  Claire moved and is actually directly behind him...I think. 

My future's so bright...Ryan under the influence of a toddler, attempts texting Missy on the Riverwalk Center Green in Breckenridge. 

Claire and Megan enjoy the alpine garden on the riverwalk.  I missed some really great photos here, should have been using the photo salvo or something.  

Claire enjoys rocks a lot.  She never did make the connection that the mountains were mostly rocks though.  Here is one she especially liked that daddy gave her.  She kissed it just before this picture.  

Daddy and Mommy and Claire enjoyed their hike on the Burro Trail off of Peak 8.  Here is a memento of Claire's expression and fascination with water...or as she calls it "Waaa"
