One morning we woke up and decided that we needed to do something different. We were tired of trips to the zoo, the park, and McDonald's Playland. We needed some good old Colorado adventure. So on April 21st we loaded up the car and drove to Estes Park. We weren't exactly sure what we were going to do once we arrived, but with Rocky Mountain National Park right next door, we knew we could at least go there. After arriving at about 11, we ate lunch and decided to make our way into the park despite having only about 2 hours before Julia would need to nap. We were hesitant because of the cost of admission, but went anyway. When we got to the gate we were told that it was free! Here are some pictures from Julia's first trip to the beautiful park.

Julia's favorite activity: sitting on rocks

If she wasn't sitting on the rocks, Julia was climbing on them.
A triumphant wave from the top
And of course, if you climb up something, you can slide down it. Here's Julia using the rock as a slide.
Yes, Julia did climb that without any help. She got even farther before Mama actually had to help. A mountain climber in the making.
A happy little girl at Many Parks Curve outlook.
Sitting like a big girl with Daddy.
The very last stop in the swampy area around a creek. Julia could barely keep her eyes open.
Heading home. Julia was out to the world before we left Estes Park.
