While in Paris, one of our bucket list items for the boys was to visit the Louvre. They are museum-lovers through and through, and they 100% know DaVinci and the Mona Lisa, so it made sense to give them this memory as part of the trip.
What I wasn’t prepared for was how their current reading binge would impact our visit!

When we told the boys that we were going to Paris for a few days, one of the things they were most excited about was seeing the Eiffel Tower. Luckily it’s a fairly request to fulfill!

GUYS! Never in all my life did I see this adventure coming. Until I had kids… kids that love bones!
It wasn’t until last year that I learned that you could visit the catacombs. You know, without sneaking in some spooky locked gate and getting lost down there forever.

Last week a friend tipped us off to the awesomeness that is Eldorado Canyon State Park, in particular, Fowler Trail. As an active 2.5-year-old, Alex is really excited to get outside and do whatever we’re doing. Translating this to hiking, it means that he’s much happier walking along with us than riding in the backpack. Unfortunately, his little legs get tired fairly quickly, so I’m always on the hunt for trails that are not that steep or long. Fortunately, Fowler trail is both short* and relatively flat! As you’ll see in the photos, it also provides outstanding views of canyon walls filled with climbers, making it extra exciting for our little adventurer. One look at the climbers and he exclaimed, “wow, that’s wild!”.
