I thought I'd share some of the pictures Benedict took while we were in Colorado. He fell in love with the place almost instantly, and I am not surprised. He loves rocks and has been talking about "the mountains" since he was a very little guy. His week in the mountains was a dream come true and just as wonderful as he always thought it would be!
The first 7 pictures are of a six mile hike we took along the Cub Lake and Fern Lake trails in Rocky Mountain National Park. He and Em were champs about hiking that far! They were having so much fun I don't think they even noticed the distance. When we returned to our camp site, Tito and I were ready to stop moving, but the boys ran off to keep playing with their friends. I wish I had that much energy!
The final pics are of our fishing adventure at Trout Haven in Estes Park. Fishing is fun when someone else does all the yucky parts for you! This place even cleaned the fish for us, so all we had to do was cook it. The very last picture is Ben sleeping on the drive home. All of them were worn out! It was a great vacation and we are looking forward to returning.
