I love this picture of my dad and me, taken in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. When I was growing up, my parents would take the family to Colorado every other summer. I can remember getting so tired on the hikes we went on and my dad picking me up and carrying me without a complaint. My dad and I have always been best friends and he instilled in me a love for nature that I will carry with me always. I am so grateful for him and everything he did for me growing up to make sure I had a happy life. He is the best!
