I get so sad when...

we have to leave Estes Park! Seriously, every time I go I get bummed having to pack up and leave. But because of a little thing called J-O-B, we are back in Tejas (burning up!) We all had such a great time and can't wait to plan our next trip. Here are some more pictures of our visit. But let me explain...

We took a family hike around a couple of lakes one morning. As we are nearing the end of one, I pick Connor up only to find that he has wet through his jeans. Ok, so we put on the spare pair in our diaper bag. We head down to the next trail only to smell something not good and discover a blow out has taken place. Because we were already up in Rocky Mountain National Park, we weren't ready to turn around and leave so he sat in his onesie around the lake. Then...

We are about to leave and Josh picks Connor up to look at the fish in the water and plop off the shoe goes down into the water. So now Connor has no pants and only one shoe. Lovely. I run back to the car and get Josh's fishing net. We wait for the shoe to come downstream so Josh can walk into the freezing water to fish it out. At this point, it was time to go home.

And for the first time ever, I had to wear layers and bundle up to watch the 4th of July fireworks. It was beautiful and about 45 degrees!

This reminds me of my trip last July to the exact same spot! We went to visit my brother in the Denver area over the 4th of July holiday and spend 4th of July in the Rocky Mountain Natl Park as well!! We loved the fact we got to play in the snow on July 4th!
