Weekend In Estes Park

We spend last weekend in Estes Park. It is about a 3 hour drive from us. Parker did a decent job behaving in the car, it is just hard for him to sit for that long of a time. He also will not sleep more than 30 minutes in the car so trying to go over his nap hour doesn't help at all. We stayed in the vacation cabin my grandparents have owned since I was a kid. It is in a very nice quiet place along the river.





Parkers favorite thing to do was feed the "chippies" He got the biggest kick out of it. Last year was the first time he fed them and he remembered.

We went into the Rocky Mountain National Park for the day. The weather was great and we just got out and explored

Parker had to have a flower and then with Nicks encouragement tossed it into the stream

Can you see us?

His little legs got tired

He had more fun jumping off the rocks

This is a bench that was dedicated to my aunt coco in her memory. It is around the lake and at the spot she liked to fish. we went here as kids to try and fish.

View Coco loved so much from the bench

We visited the Stanly hotel. Haunted hotel that was the scene for the movie the shining.

He drew a lot of attention sitting here because he was so cute sitting so still and waiting for the chippies. They kept coming to him because he was sitting there for a while. I was cracking open the peanuts for him so the chipmunks would come back quicker and Parker kept eating the peanuts I gave him.
