On Friday the girls set up camp by ourselves. The boys didn't get up there until 5 that night. we hung out, played with the kids, took a nature walk, you know the normal camping stuff.
Saturday we went to Lake Estes. It is a lake in the Middle of the town of Estes park. Right nest to our picnic table was this monster of an elk. it just laid there for about an hour. We fished at the lake and waded in it. It was freezing cold so we didn't really get that wet. We did get to see the hotel that was the inspiration for the book by Stephan King, The Shining.
The Stanley Hotel
Our Monster Elk
On Sunday we went to Rocky Mountain National Park which was breathtaking. We followed a road that went up to 11,000 feet and had a overlook. The next two pictures our of Christopher and I on the overlook and the view. They are a little dark. Sorry about that.
On Monday we just packed up and came home. We were so tired. I will post more pics of the kids as soon as my friend emails them me!

Sounds like you guys had fun! Weren't you nervous about the elk?
I think that the hotel was also used in the Christopher Reeve and Dr. Quin Medicine Woman movie Somewhere in Time.
Sounds like fun! Did you go in the hotel??? I definitely wouldn't stay there for fear of waking up and finding a green lady in the tub! That movie scared me so bad when I saw it.
Wow, what a big elk! it sounds like you had a fun weekend!
Those are beautiful views! I would be freaked out by that hotel!
I'm glad you guys had a fun time- camping is always fun though right :) That is cool that you were by that hotel- you guys should have watched the movie the night before going!
