Rocky Mountain High

Last weekend, we went on a little family vacation to Estes Park which is the town that sits at the entrance of the Rocky Mountain National Park. On Saturday, we drove up to 12,000 ft to the tundra areas of the park.
There was snow...
And flowers...And beautiful views...
Paige turned 5 on the 17th of August so one of her "gifts" was to ride a full-size horse on a trail.
She rode a horse named Baron and she is still talking about the horse below, Big Jake.Look at that smile...she couldn't have been happier!! :)
On Sunday, we went back into the park to hike to Alberta Falls.
The alpine forests are so pretty...we are looking forward to coming back when the leaves change colors.

We ended the trip with more fun...go-carts and a big slide!

Looks like you a had a great time celebrating Paige's birthday. Glad she had a good first day of school. Such a big girl riding the bus. Miss you all. Claire
