Long story but we ended up staying in a king suite in NE on our way to CO and Mac thought swimming in the little pool (i.e. the whirlpool in our room) was so cool.
We made it!!!
Elk are everywhere in Estes, even right along the road. Here were 2 bull elk just eating along the hwy.
It SNOWED in June. You gotta love the mtns!
Our family hiking in the mountains. A trail went from our back yard right into Rocky Mtn National Park. We're back from Estes Park, CO and I'm finally posting some pics! It's been nuts since we got home...unpacking, preparing for Brekk and Cooper's b-day party, celebrating Brekk's b-day (yesterday) and trying to get things back to normal. It was great to get away to Colorado! We had such a wonderful time...we really didn't want to come home but we were really missing our dogs (our parents took care of them...thanks guys)!
I can't even begin to tell you all about the trip but some highlights included: Mac seeing mountains for the first time, lots of wildlife (Mac really loved the elk), seeing old friends at the Ravencrest reunion and meeting new ones, shopping, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and spending lots of time together as a fam! Brekk and Mackena did AWESOME traveling...who would have thought traveling 16 hours x2 would be such a breeze...okay, they each did have 1 meltdown but that's not bad considering how long we drove! Our fam stayed with my friend Tricia's fam in a house we rented and it was a blast. The kids got along perfect! Together we had 5 kids in the house ages 0, 1, 2, 3, & 4....crazy but fun! We really cannot wait to go back...we LOVE the mountains!
