Estes Park

We got away for a day with the kids and went to Estes Park. After spending the whole morning getting ready, we finally made it up there and had an awesome day. It felt so good to be outside and spend good quality time together. The kids had the best time.

Here's Emmy Girl showing off her sweet brother.  She was sharing her Abby doll with him.

We spent the first part of the day at a big playground and ate lunch there. 

Throwing rocks into the river - there were elk walking through the water right by us.

Good thing they had their walking sticks. :)

Had to get ice cream of course - both ordered strawberry.

Oh yeah - Smith was there too, as happy as ever.

On the way home, we stopped at a really cool hike for Zack and Zane to go together.  Zack has a picture on his phone of Zane peeing in the bushes - that was the highlight!  They LOVED hiking together and Zane is such a trooper and wanted to keep going.  Zack had to make him turn around.  Emmy and Smith and I rested in the car after a long day.  Loved this day.
