Estes Park, Colorado

This summer we went to our favorite vacation spot, Estes Park, Colorado.  The boys flew up with MeMaw for a couple of days before Josh, Drew and I drove up later.  The big boys got to go to the YMCA day camp for 3 days.  No surprise, they LOVED it!
Here they are ready for camp.
The new playground by MeMaw's house

Connor doing what he loves best!
Drew and I watched from the side
Fishing really isn't Reid's thing, so he decided to climb instead

While Daddy and Connor continued to fish, Reid, Drew and I walked around the lake

On top of Trail Ridge Road
Here they are with the same bear from 2 years ago


It was the first day of summer, and they got to play in the snow!



Beautiful views





Drew was down below with MeMaw
We saw 4 moose!
Hard to see but it's a big male moose


We went to Grand Lake, where they dipped their feet in the lake. It was super cooooold!





Drew was on the grass waving to everyone that came by. He made lots of friends

Another moose. You can see his big antlers.

I couldn't get Drew to go to sleep, so I put him in the stroller and in no time, he fell asleep like this


I love that he sleeps with his little rear end up in the air
Connor feeding a chipmunk
Connor and I got to spend one day together.  First we hiked




We came home for lunch and enjoyed pulling Drew around in the sled.  Because MeMaw's house only has a shower, we used this sled to bathe Drew in each night!



After lunch, Connor and I went paddleboarding




Bath time!


The next day, I got to spend it with Reid.  Here we are on our hike





Then he wanted to play Sorry out on the deck...
While Drew rearranged MeMaw's cabinets



Stopping for lunch on our way back home
This is how we roll on long road trips
We did not get home until the wee hours of the morning.  Our backseat passengers were all asleep!



As usual, it was a FUN trip had by all!!
