Colorado Trip

Brian and I had a mini getaway this past weekend which was wonderful! One of my best friends got married in Estes Park, CO. My dad came into town to watch the kids (which is a mini vacation for them too since Papa takes them to McDonald's and buys them presents!! ).

Estes Park was more beautiful than words can say. This was our first time in the area and with perfect weather, it was awesome! Since we were in the mountains I signed us up for a 2 hour horseback riding tour. It reminded me so much of growing up in Show Low riding behind my house. I was in heaven!

We even got to see Elk...and VERY close up. They were in someones yard eating away and let people get almost touching distance from them. You don't get to do that every day!!!

Some were huge! We even saw three babies. So cute!

On our way into town Brian asked if that was The Stanley Hotel where The Shining was filmed. I have never seen the movie so I didn't really know what he was talking about. Come to find out, this hotel is The Stanley and The Shining was filmed there! The grounds are very nice!

What a wonderful trip!
