Estes Park

Well as most of you know that we went to Estes Park for our family vacation! All i can say is wow, it so beautiful there and so much fun! We did a lot of thing from fun parks to driving all the way up the rookie mountains! I felt bad cuz Dalten set in his stroller 70 % of the time but i tell you what soon as we gotten home he start to walk right away...lol Estes we did a lot of shopping, eating, and spending time with the kids. We havent done this for a very long time! I gotten the idea from Missy (Thank Miss)! One of the neat things was we went to the Stanley Hotel there in Estes and it was know to be haunted years back, well it was gorgeous there and we found out some neat facts about it. First of all Stanley the man that built the hotel had died on my birthday July 31 in the early 1900's but when we have learned of this it was exactly on my birthday so i felt a lil special...lol Also if anyone that likes scary movies ( well I sure do), there a moving called the Shining, well the movie was film right there at the Stanley Hotel and they used the parts that was haunted! It was so awesome for me to tour! Well i think the kids favorite part was fishing by the pond at our hotel and also the elk that would almost come up to our hotel room door... i kind of freak out sometimes cuz the baby elk was just as tall as me so yea it was freaky but they were so neat! Well i hope you enjoy the pics!

Looks like you guys had tons of fun. Your boys will have great memories of this. We try to go up there at least once a year-I love the mountains! If you ever get a chance to go up just the 2 of you-you need to stay at Annie's Mountain Retreat---www.anniesmountainretreat.com -it is so romantic/relaxing!
