Christmas Eve at Hovenweep

On Christmas Eve Day, the sun came out and no snow was falling so we made a fairly short drive from Monticello to Hovenweep Indian Ruins. It was a beautiful day and the ruins are pretty impressive.


The forest service worker there told us the trail was stroller friendly. I guess if you have a big four wheel drive stroller it would be, but the little umbrella stroller was having a difficult time. The easiest way to transport Rachel was to pull the stroller instead of pushing.

More beautiful ruins.

Even with the rear view, Rachel seemed to enjoy the ride.

Claire found a puddle that had frozen over and it became an ice skating rink.

Everyone tried out the skating two at a time (Claire plus someone else) Thank goodness Paul went last because he cracked the ice and water started to seep in.
