Life is Better in the Mountains - 6

We spent a day taking little hikes around a couple different lakes. The weather was beautiful and the view was amazing! We had a great day being outside! I love Cody pointing at something.... Cody could spot a chipmunk and start pointing before any of us would see it.

Welcome to Rocky Mountain National Park...one of our favorite places!

The beauty is endless!

Cody really enjoyed riding in this backpack! I am so glad we found it on craigs list and lugged it to Colorado with us! It definately made the visitor centers more enjoyable! The Moose is my favorite mountain animal! So, I couldn't resist getting a family picture in front of this huge moose in one of the shops!

Cody loves to point and there is definately a lot to point at in Estes Park!

It started raining on afternoon while we were wandering around town so we took cover inside a little snack shop while we waited for the rain to pass.

The view is always better from Grandpa's shoulders.

Enjoying the river....Cody either wanted to be in the river or set free to climb the rocks...so his freedom didn't last too long.

Afternoon stroll by the river side of the main shopping strand.

We took a beautiful drive up Fall River Road in the Rocky Mountains. Our first stop along the way was at a waterfall. Cody loved the freedom of being able to explore! He was a dirty, dusty mess when the day was over but he had a great time!
