Summer may be over but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end (or that the temperatures have to drop – seriously, it is like 85° this week – anyone else still sweating on the way to work?!) I love that adventures are year round especially when our summer pretty much looked like a big fat finish the basement project (Side Note: If you are wondering that is still trucking on slowly but surly. I think we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!? Expect some kinds of posts in October 😉 ) Good news though, we have a tendency to get cabin fever if we stay in too long so we still used our Chacos for more than protecting our feet from nails on the ground and hit up the trials near by.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I love living so close to trails & mountains. Just the other day I was driving with my four-year-old niece in the car and she piped up from the backseat “The mountains are so big! I’m glad they are so close to us so we can play with them!” Me too sweet girl. Me too.
We find ourselves in North Cheyenne Cañon Park quite often. There are a variety of trails woven through the foothills just outside of Colorado Springs. We all strapped on our Chacos (because they are fit for adventure, duh ;),) filled up our water bottles, and ran away to the mountains. We also spent a lot of time in a tunnel taking shadow photos and I spent some time trying to organize a group sing-a-long (apparently not everyone was down with the idea of breaking out into musicals as we hiked along…) #spiritofsummer

In DC, #spiritofsummer includes numerous hikes on the Billy Goat Trail 🙂
First summer where we weren’t in school while being married! We had to cancel our vacation because the hubs got his first big boy job. Regardless #spiritofsummer was great because we got to finally spend time together after being married for a year 🙂 I LOVE the outdoors and if I won the leopard print ones I could wear them to work!
My #spiritofsummer memory is spending time outside with my two guys! My little guy’s first summer was one for the books!
I’ve never had chacos but all my friends have them. They say they’re SUPER comfy for hiking and such, but we can only do it a few months out of the year in Alaska. Your photos of the adventure are awesome! I love the color and vibrance.
Loving the Hopi Boot.
Love Chacos! The Barbary Boot is my fav.
I love the women’s Sloan shoes in blue steel
These look so perfect for outdoor adventuring! And I completely understand what you mean by the not-so-chilly autumn weather. We’re still experiencing temperatures in the 90s!
I love the Unaweep Sandal! Perfect for southern falls, which are pretty much still summer 🙂
