Rocky Mountain National Park 2011

For the second year in a row, we went up to Estes Park for Elk Week. This year we actually got to camp though since we have our camper. It was a ton of fun. Ronda and her family were there and Jim, Brenda, and Hayden met us up there as well. It's amazing being that close to the elk and watching them. I still can't understand how all those "girl elk" hang around one guy elk and do whatever he tells them to do. I would NOT make a good elk!!!

If I remember right, I didn't have a camera with me and this was taken on Ryan's cell phone. Of ALL times to forget the camera, Elk Week is NOT the time! Grr!!

This picture was taken on a hike that we took up to the lake. Gorgeous!!

P.S. Hopefully more pics are to come of this trip:-)

Halloween 2011

Since Halloween was two months ago, I'm going to do my very best at posting this correctly. This Halloween was definitely bittersweet. It was fun having the kids pick what they wanted to be for Halloween, yet it was sad that they wanted to pick what they wanted to be. It was the first year I couldn't have a theme for them. Reagan chose to be her most favorite princess, Rapunzel and Hunter chose to be his most favorite character, Buzz Lightyear. I also couldn't have had two more opposite trick-or-treaters! Ryan and I could barely keep up with Reagan and Hunter wasn't really in the mood. He even made us carry his basket!
