Estes Park

Saturday's fun thing was a trip to Estes Park, one of my all-time favorite places.

It's a beautiful location, surrounded by mountains, with rivers flowing around and about through town, and lots of kid-friendly places to get your hands

and feet wet.

There are plenty of things to do, from enjoying the playground -

Addy and Leia's favorite thing,

especially when our bestest Auntie Rachel is involved,

to climbing on rocks as 'queen of the world' -

and checking out the local wildlife, statue edition.

Walking around town was taxing for Leia's little legs, so she looked for every opportunity to bum a lift. Needless to say, she was still going strong at the end of the day while the rest of us were pooped.

The hands-down best thing we saw was a blown glass demonstration with a great, informative narration by the artist. Fantastic, beautiful stuff. The very close, next best thing?

This enormous metal chicken we spotted on the outskirts of Loveland that Rachel and I both love and I WANT for my yard. We're going back tomorrow to see if they have a slightly smaller version.
