vacation {rocky mountain national park}

Our last day together with Michael and Laura we spent 

driving through Rocky Mountain National Park.

We love going there when we are at the cabin.

The scenery is beautiful and there are tons of hiking trails.

We took Levi on his first hiking experience.

He even had a cool backpack to ride in thanks to

his Gramps and Grammy.

He really liked it.

It looks like he may have to grow into it a little though.

I say we went hiking...

really we just walked along some trails.

Nothing very hard.

We figured that might be all we could handle with three kids.

We stopped half way to have a little picnic.

And to stretch a little too.

Our second "hike" was around Bear Lake.

Every time we stopped for a family picture, 

Hunter wanted to be a part of our family.

He and Joel were buds.

Levi loved being outside and watching all the people.

His little hat kept falling over his eyes though.

It was really frustrating to him.

We drove all the way through over to Estes Park.

We walked around for a while and then stopped for dinner.

I think we were all pretty tired.

Here are the three boys at the end of the day.

We were sensing that they were ready to be done with the Colorado fun.

Michael and Laura left from Estes Park to head back home.

It was sad to say goodbye.

We always have so much fun together.

We went back to the cabin for one more night.

The next day we said goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma.

Levi didn't know what to think of Grandpa's beard.

It was funny how he kept pulling on it.

We wish we could have stayed longer.

We love spending time at the cabin.

Thanks for letting us come Grandpa and Grandma!
