On our way back from Eagle last weekend, we decided to take advantage of our state park pass and visit Sylvan Lake State Park. While the boys weren't particularly thrilled with the idea of a hike, they had a great time once we got there. We enjoyed lunch, the cooler weather, and throwing rocks in the water, and easy 1.25 mile hike around the lake. Unfortunately, our state park visit meant we were going to be stuck in summer traffic trying to get back into Denver on Sunday night. Instead of sitting in traffic, we decided to go swimming at the Silverthorne Recreation Center and then eat dinner before we headed back to Denver. The pool was not crowded and D-man enjoyed the water slides while T-man has turned into a fish basically overnight. The summer swimming lessons have defiitely paid off. And while we still had to sit in some traffic coming into to Denver, spending the time hiking and swimming with the boys was a wonderful way to wrap up our mini-vacation to the mountains.
