Colorado Vacation, Part II September 1, 2011

My mom fell in love with the Rocky Mountains after working in Estes Park during the summer while she was in college. My parents went back numerous times as a young couple and we made several trips there as a family growing up. After she passed away in December, it seemed like a natural choice when deciding where her final resting place should be. So, after our brief stop in Denver, we headed to Estes Park to meet up with my dad, sisters, and their families. We all stayed together in one really long house we rented. Naptimes, bedtimes, and meals were a bit crazy, but it was fun to all be together. We spent the week hiking, horse-back riding, playing with cousins, playing cards, marveling at the gorgeous scenery, remembering Nana, and enjoying each other. It was lovely. :)
