After leaving Denver, we headed to our friends house, Neil and Heidi. They live outside of Boulder, so these pictures are from walking around Boulder one day. It was great to see them. They are welcoming a baby girl in October, and we're so excited for them! We also got to spend time with some friends we met in MS that now live in CO. We had dinner and dessert with them our last night in Denver. It was really good to catch up with them. I love those friends that you haven't seen in a while, but can instantly and comfortably pick back up where you left off. Thanks Michael and Jennifer! You're always welcome in Atlanta!
As you can see from the photos, we have little hikers in our family! We were so proud of Logan. She did amazing and enjoyed herself thoroughly. Especially the photo opps on the big rocks! After leaving Neil and Heidi's house, we traveled up to Estes Park for a couple of nights. We wanted to enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park, do some hiking, have a picnic, and enjoy a sunset on top of a mountain! Neil and Heidi joined us the first day for a day hike. It was really great to spend time with them!
Not a bad way to end day 1, although we weren't exactly dressed for snow and cold wind. Oh well, just snuggled up and dreamed of a fireplace and warm bed!
Final day in Estes Park! We saw so much wildlife. A snake, a moose (shown above), tons of elk, chipmunks, a badger, deer... The kids probably thought elk were like squirrels since we saw so many of them. There are also a couple of pics of us on a big slide. What an unexpected fun surprise! Who cares if it was kinda "touristy?" We loved it and it was only $1! The final picture is the kids first smore. We roasted the marshmallows outside our hotel over a campfire. Fleetwood liked it. Logan was a little unsure of the stickyness and somewhat burnt marshmallow (which she doesn't really care for to begin with). She preferred to just eat the graham cracker and chocolate separately. Good memories!
