My family visited Cheyenne Mountain State Park, here in Colorado Springs. First visit for us and we had a very nice hike. I felt relaxed and just loved taking in the views even though I saw the sign that Mountain Lions and Bears had been spotted in the area. I probably will not be going there by myself any time soon, but the experience was memorable. I shared a few pictures on my personal Facebook page, but I saved this one for my 366 project. This photograph just illustrates how I felt being there. Really blessed to be surrounded by so much natural beauty and have my kids be able to live here and experience it all. 

For my photographer friends, I experimented with a new edit, let me know what you think!

Just to be at peace even for a moment

There was a lot of jumping off furniture today. Jumping from the kitchen chairs, jumping off the couch, my son wanted to jump off the table, but that's where I draw the line. This particular photo, my daughter wanted to show me that she could jump off the couch and spin in the air. She did this several times even after she hurt herself. She's such a risk taker.
