Estes Park, CO

We went on our annual Self family vacation to Estes Park in September. We all had a wonderful time!

Sarah Grace did great on the long plane ride, and during the long day trips we made while on vacation. She loved all the animals! We saw elk, moose, sheep, & chipmunks. The chipmunks were so tame that you could feed them from your hand... although Sarah Grace wasn't patient enough to wait on them, so she'd throw and run.

She had a different idea of what going into "the park" was. We meant Rocky Mtn. National Park, where we'd drive all day looking at scenery and animals (not her idea of fun)... she thought we were going "a park" and she wanted to find the playground. By the middle of the week she'd say "I don't want to go into the Mountain Park anymore." So, we had to find a little park in town with a playground so she could play. :)

She loved going on "adventures" and cooking out in then park at night (especially roasting marshmallows)... she thought she was very grown up! It was always her "job" to "keep her eyes "peeled" for animals, and she'd say "my eyes are naked, so I can see the animals!".
