Denver Trip: Estes Park

Saturday, we all drove up to the mountains to Estes Park where we got to see the beautiful Fall colors (the "shimmering, yellow Aspen," said Papanui) and herds of elk along the road! The weather was crisp and felt great (in the mid-fifties, I believe)!

We also stopped at the Visitor's Center & Gift Shop where we enjoyed some ice cream (despite the chilly weather!) and enjoyed looking around at all the "stuff"!

This was another opportunity to let Mira burn some energy before putting her back in her carseat for the long drive back to the hotel. She was not happy about that!

A "real" Autumn - not like the ones down south!!

Mountains always make a great pic.

Check out that rack!!

Me and the Park Ranger

Mira considers buying a cowgirl hat, but, in the end, she decides she is more of a city girl...shoe shopping anyone??
