Do you hear bells?!

It started just outside of Vail with a little hike



We were happy to be out from the city


Just soaked in the outdoors




Made it to the top (the falls are just right behind us)



Took some pics and ate lunch



We like taking pictures ;)



Ate some Kvikk Lunsj (A Norwegian hiking tradition!)


My personal Kvikk Lunsj model ;)



The Turtles came with.... of course
(Erika takes these guys EVERYWHERE she goes)


After a few gifts at the top for our 1 year anniversary (they were just decoys) we hiked down and stopped along the way. I washed her feet, read a letter, and seamlessly popped out a little box with a shiny ring!

Through her tears and sobs she managed out a faint YES!



We're Engaged!!!
