Since I will shortly be going to bed, but am presently inspired to post, I will keep it brief and start with the photos that we just took today on our day trip to Rocky Mountain National Park.
I love living in Fort Collins for a lot of reasons, but one of them is definitely the proximity to Estes Park. It's only an hour! Man, why don't we do this more often.
We started from the house around 10 am, and were happily enjoying our picnic lunch at 11:30 in a lovely little picnic spot. Around 12:30 we did a short hike around Lily Lake. The distance probably wasn't more than a mile, and the elevation gain was minimal (even I could do it without huffing and puffing no problem, that's saying something!), but even so, I was so proud of my big girl because she walked the whole thing all the way by herself. Without complaining. And, yes, she is actually related to me so this might be all the more surprising.

| Hey, Scout, make your "stinker face" |

| All the way down the hike, all by herself. She's a hiker! |

More fun photos to follow soon, I hope. We've been busy, but loving it!
