A Perfect Day for a 5K

Saturday we participated in a 5K walk called "Fostering Hope" through WorldVenture, the company that Mark's dad works for. Its purpose was to raise funds for children both here in Colorado as well as in Uganda. The turnout was great for the first year of this event - about 200 participants and over $13,000 raised! The weather was absolutely beautiful and we had a wonderful time being outside for such a great cause. Asher had a fun time too!

Before we started the 5K - as you can tell, Asher is more interested in eating grandma's finger than smiling for the camera.
After the walk

After the walk was over we headed up to Idaho Springs for an afternoon drive through the mountains to see the changing colors and scenery. Colorado is absolutely so beautiful and amazing - I'm reminded of that every time we are in the mountains. A Starbucks stop and dinner at Beau Jo's rounded off the perfect day!
