Happy 33 K!!!

The weather was a perfect Fall day, the Rockies were back home for a
pit stop amidst a long away stretch, a Holiday weekend was just around
the corner, White Water Ramble and The Infamous Stringdusters were
playing the Bluebird, and college football kicked off - pretty much a
perfect scene for K's Birthday!! Which to hear him tell it that's
just how it happens when your birthday falls on the Perfect day of the
year.
So, it is Birthday weekend, which we kicked off Wednesday night when K
got in from work late by opening presents and Wholefoods' carrot cake.
He got some workout wear for his training (considering a marathon in
October) and tickets for The Infamous Stringdusters. Just because he
had to work on his birthday doesn't mean he can't have a good lunch,
so he also got an 8-piece chipotle fried chicken and potato salad to
take to work. We took it easy last night although are going to try
and squeeze in Taste of Colorado and the MSU game (which is on ESPNU)
tonight and then tomorrow is Willie Nelson at Red Rocks . . . oh and of
course Monday is Labor Day so we'll probably grill and watch more
football! I guess that does make for a pretty awesome birthday!

2010-08-22_Trail Ridge Road and Estes Park Heritage Festival

We road above the tree line (11,500 ft) on Trail Ridge Rd after packing up camp and then headed down to Estes for a wonderful buffet brunch at The Other Side. With a full belly and a little champagne buzz we hung out at Estes's Heritage festival and enjoyed the tourist-trap shops for a while and K FINALLY got his funnel cake (about the only thing we didn't check off the list while home for the Fair).

2010-08-21_Camping in Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park

2010-08-21_Camping in Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park We camped in Rocky Mtn this past Saturday in Moraine Park Campground. Worked up a good appetite on an 8 mile hike on a loop near the campground and definitely had a significant elevation gain as well. The weather was perfect, cool enough for the fire but not too cold and the campground was well-equipped, though could have used a few more bear lockers considering we were in the Jeep with the top half on. Although we didn't actually see much wildlife this time, there's always the feeling they are nearby!

Paige is 7!!!

Paige and Kaitlin's birthdays were this week, August 18th! Paige
turned seven and we're saying Kaitlin turned four (we just made her
birthday the same as Paigey's). They got an early morning walk and a
special breakfast with cheese and treats :)
