Estes Park, pt 2

Aunt Chara drove out from Denver to grace us with her presence. My kids adore her and JJ still asks at random times "Momma... uh, Chawa?"

This guy was just a few feet from our car and we had a heck of a time trying to get him to look at us. There were so many elk that JJ still thinks there are elk living/eating in every open field he sees.

We saw one moose, and I don't think that JJ saw it, but he would look out the window and say "Moose... out dar!"

The gang up on the mountain.



Papa had to hold the peanut because JJ waved it in the air and yelled "Monkeys, Peanuts, It's food!!!"




Estes Park, CO

Well, it has been three months since our trip to Disneyland and we needed another vacation! So we drove to Vernal to pick up Grandpa and Grandma and drove through Rocky Mountain National Park to spend some time in Estes Park. It was awesome! We saw hundreds of Elk, some bighorn sheep, and the chipmunks ate peanuts out of our hands. I would definately recommend this to anyone, very beautiful and relaxing vacation!!!

All of us up on top freezing in our summer clothes.

Awwww, aren't we cute? There was still a lot of snow up on top, in some spots up to ten feet. We went through on the first day it was open for the season and the snow was cut away from the road so they could plow the road.
