What a day! We started out with Baylie and Jade getting out of their respective summer school and jump start programs. About noon, we piled into the suby wagon and headed for RMNP. On our way, Kinzie and Jade watched a movie, and Baylie gazed out of the window. Amber packed up plenty of snacks! We stopped at the park in Estes, and the kids played until the rain came in. We then proceeded to Rocky Mountain National Park. Let me tell you we will be going through there often. So beautiful! At on of the lakes (previously called spawlding by an anonymous source:) we packed up and hiked around the lake. We had many stops and even visited a chipmunk from Hollywood! (Ok, he or she was just brave, and sounding off:) If it were not for the rain (that decided to start 3/4 of the way of our hike in,) we would have gone to bear lake next. So we left and took the kids to a couple of rock shops where they proceeded to buy RARE GEMS! Ok, nice gems:) Then we found ourselves at WAPITI Grill. Let me tell you, they can cook! Then we had ice cream at Laura's and headed back to the park in Estes. On the way home Kinzie zonked out, and we all slept well.........
