Estes Park & The Rocky Mountains!!

Pin It


Bella is sticking her tongue out at you.  What a little punk.
I just have to say that your e-mails, comments and messages regarding my lupus diagnosis made me so happy. You have no idea how much it means to me to have prayers from those of you around the country, or across the sea in foreign countries praying and thinking of me.  You all are swell people, and I kind of love you.  Too soon?   I had to say it, I can't fight this feeling anymore, and love lift us up where we belong and all that.  You don't have to say it back, I can wait :)

Continuing with my 4th of July weekend, I am going to post some pictures of Estes Park, CO & Rocky Mountain National Park.  The Rockies are just incredibly beautiful and the pictures don't really do it justice, you get about three different terrains and climates all within a one hour drive and wildlife is everywhere.  One day I am going to go back there and camp, and I WILL see a Moose.  Or a bear.  Or both. And it will be epic.  And I will blog about it.

Until that time, here are some select photos of the Rockies. I will upload the rest to our Facebook Page.  If you haven't "liked" us there, you should!  You will get new posts right in your news feed, how convenient, yes?

the snow capped mountains are the rockies...where we are headed!

estes park!

In Estes Park they were having a classic car show....and I want this mustang! 

In the rocky mntn ntnl park..... bella breaking the rules!

breathtaking scenery...


melting snow!

typical!



lots of snow...even though it was 75 degrees (95 at the bottom, got colder and colder and we drove up)

Copeland Falls, Wild Basin 



Now that I have finished this post I realized that I totally skipped Boulder, CO.  My bad.
Tomorrow I will do the Boulder pictures!  Ugh, I am losing it guys!
Also, I have to comment on the Casey Anthony Trial and say I think the jury
was/is insane and they are letting someone or some people get away with murder.
Obviously a crime was committed.  I don't think we will ever know the truth though.
And secondly, Teen Mom last night?!?!?  Holy train wrecks.  All of them. 
Except maybe Maci. GEEEEZ.

{Happy HUMp Day!}

  5. I've live in the rocky mountains most of my life and there's no place like it. :) I love it so much! So glad you got to experience them!

  6. Oh also, totally agree about the Casey Anthony trial. If she didn't do it, SOMEONE did, and it's pathetic and sick that they let her go. Ugh! America...

  7. Let's just be honest and say that you took some GORGEOUS pictures - National Geographic gorgeous. I can't get over the stillness of the water at Bear Lake!!! Amazing.

    I wish I had cable and could've watched Teen Mom last night! I kind of miss the train wrecks!

  10. UMMM I LOVE THIS!!!
    1. Because I love Estes Park and the Rocky Mountains...
    2. You need to go up to Fall River Road up the windy road to the top where it is the highest highway...in Colorado? or the US? I'm not sure google it...now that is gorgeous too! It is up in Estes!
    3. My dad, brother, & my chihuahua was on a trail up there (Estes Park) the same weekend as you and got a picture of my dog next to a no dog sign that looks just like yours!!!
    4. Pretty pictures...Colorado is great right?!

    And okay that is all for now...hope you feel better :)
    And maybe you can win a giveaway on my blog? Ha.

  11. We live near Tahoe, so we get the snow thing too. 100 degrees down here in the valley, drive 25 minutes and you have walls of snow. We had snowboarders on the 4th of July.

    Looks like a fun day! And yeah, I'll take one of those mustangs too.

  12. That's SNOW that you're standing in front of?! Crazy!!

    The Casey Anthony verdict literally makes me sick. That poor little girl got ZERO justice. I'm not a parent yet but I don't understand how you can 1). not report your child missing and 2). hurt someone that small (or really anyone, for that matter).

    Alright, I'm done talking about it because now I'm angry and sad.

  15. New follower!
    I almost lost all my breath when I saw the Red Mustang. This has been on my wishlist since I was 16! Same color and everything! I will one day have it! *sigh*
    I love the photos on your blog. They make me feel like 'i was there' and that is always a plus when reading a new blog.
    Hope you're enjoying the rest of your Friday!
