This weekend we took a little mini-holiday to Estes Park, Colorado. This is Daddy's last weekend before school starts on Monday so it was nice to get away and just relax. Estes Park is about 1 hour away from Boulder and home to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It usually costs $20 to enter the park but this weekend was free so we got to go there for a little bit too.
On our way on 36 to Estes Park
Flatirons still
Starting to change
We stayed at a camping ground in Estes Park. On Craigslist I found a 1 bedroom cabin for $34/night so we rented it. Look how cute...they welcomed us to the site..
There's Daddy's name third down from the top
Our cabin! As soon as we got there it started pouring
We put our sheets on the beds and relaxed right away
You wanted to get up on the bunk beds
Up you go
So cute!
As soon as we settled in we went to the tramway
I was a bit scared to go but you were excited
Ahhh!!
And we're up!
There was a lookout stop at the top
So high
Little hike...it was a bit chilly up here since we were about 10,000 ft up
There were so many chipmunks up there...here is one eating a peanut
On our way back down
After the tram we headed into the downtown area since Rocky Mountain National Park was only going to be free on Saturday and it was Friday. Estes has a creek too
You're still obsessed with bridges
Downtown
Flowers everywhere
A little insect eating

The movie theater...Daddy really wanted to go see GI Joe

Tickle tickles
On our way to Rocky Mountain National Park
Entering the park
So pretty! It was a bit cloudy today
O looking at the Rockies
We didn't stay long because we thought you might be having altitude issues...we were above 12,000 feet and you were acting a bit weird so we left without hiking or anything...maybe next year.
