Updates Galore...

Alrighty then, this weekend was the official Elementary launch and it was awesome!

Soooooo, with that out of the way, I've got some time to update tonight.
Hmmmmm... where do I start... how about two months ago at the end of June, with our first official visitors in Colorado - The McLellans.




While they were here we all decided to take a trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park.
On the way up (literally up), I let the boys use the camera to take some "pictures".
There are brief shots of the mountains - totally breathtaking - either that or you can't breath because you want to puke from the scenery flying by.
This is what I found on my camera...



No kidding, I have at least three of these videos on here with things just randomly speeding past. I need to take dramamine just to watch.

Since we had two kiddos with us, we chose Bear Lake because it's an easy hike.



Though that didn't stop them from venturing up a bit further.





Look! It's like "Where's Waldo?" Can anyone find Ben?


I did feel bad for some of the tourists as we reached the beginning of the trail.
To understand why, you need to remember that many people go up to the mountains for peace and quiet. Keep in mind that they are all being extra hush-hush so that they might see a few animals... and then a few families from Austin show up who clearly haven't seen snow in years!





Even with all the chaos, we didn't drive all the animals away.
There was one chipmunk that was what Brandon called Bear Lake's "Paris Hilton".




I'm actually as close as it looks like I am as I'm taking this picture. This little cutie clearly lives for paparazzi. She would turn her head from side to side and pose... that's hot.


We did get to see some other animals, but I wasn't fast enough with the camera.
Brandon and Raine won the prize for the best animal pic of the day. Here they are with the ever elusive pocket moose.



Sorry, a little bit of an inside joke there. Thanks for sticking with me.


At the end of the day/week we had an awesome visit and miss them tons.
Here are just two of the reasons why.
