Colorado Part 2

Oh my goodness this blog post gets more intimidating to write the more photos I take!  So here, let me get this posted before another day produces another few dozen photos. 

 

We LOVE the porch at this cabin!  It's a fantastic place to hang out and watch hummingbirds.



And although cell reception is poor (read: non-existent), we've had time and space for in-person conversations that are just difficult to have during the busy, day-to-day in Texas.



The hummingbirds aren't as eager as last year, but they're still pretty interested in the highly nutritious solution we've been supplying through the feeder.

 

We enjoyed seeing Daniel's parents for a few days while they were also in Estes Park. 



We did some arts/crafts, and Daniel and I enjoyed a thrift-shopping-morning-date while his parents babysat the kids.



And the next day, Lucy played her first game of putt-putt!  Actually, it was sort of a modified putt-putt game. 



Each adult got one turn at putting the ball, and then Lucy took each ball and stuck it in the hole.

 

A couple days ago we ventured out to Sprague Lake and enjoyed cooking out!  Hot dogs and s'mores are hard to beat.  Especially bison hot dogs.  Yum.

 

Lucy is a ham.  This is her "monkey dance" face.  It is hilarious.



Inspired by a friend of my in-laws, I tried my hand at some nature-as-art type photos.  Water is amazing.  It's so cool, to me, how different water can appear.



I don't necessarily have descriptors for all these photos, but I wanted to share them anyways.



Our crew loves bacon.  I mean, who doesn't?



For the last two days we've been enjoying staying with our good friends Sarah and Bryan outside of Denver.  They have two horses and live on 11 acres of land.  It is so cool! 



Lucy was intrigued by the tractor ("fire truck!") and then horrified when she rode it.  Same goes for the horse-riding. 

 

The kids have been CRACKING each other up, lately.  It's such a joy to watch.  They just laugh back and forth, each finding the other more hilarious by the minute.  It's so much fun.



I can't believe Sarah and Bryan are Colorado people now!  We will miss them in Dallas.  A lot! 



But we're already looking forward to our next trip to see them.
