A friend from Centennial Covenant had some extra tickets for a moonlight hike in Roxborough State Park tonight. Only about 6 miles from the house, Roxborough is one of Colorado's most beautiful parks - featuring the Red Rock formations that dot the front range from Boulder down to Colorado Springs. We had a great tour guide in Peter Loux - a retired geologist who - with his wife - shared their expertise and knowledge about the area. Grant hung on his every word throughout the whole evening - and Elly did a great job answering his scientific questions...
A big bonus - when we got back to the visitor's center, a guy had his telescope set up. We were able to see Saturn with rings - and an incredible view of the Moon!
A great time was had by all!
