...and--wow!--is it beautiful. We spent the day in Estes Park/Rocky Mountain National Park with my parents who've been up there camping. And what a day!
At Mom and Dad's campsite
Picnic at Sprague Lake, followed by some fishing...Audrey got a nibble, but no fish this time
Mom and I sat and enjoyed the sun while they fished
Then we hiked up to Alberta Falls:
It was a gorgeous day...the pictures hardly do it justice. Warm and sunny until it was time to head into town for pizza, then it poured rain until we were done eating. We drove home a new way and saw four moose along the way (not to mention elk and deer and funny cows). All in all, a great day.
As we were sitting on the side of a mountain looking at it, I was struck by how blessed we are to live here. So thank you to all those who've given their lives so we could live in freedom. We remembered you this Memorial Day.
Happy Summer Vacation! We have about 4 1/2 weeks left of school here before our vacation begins. What a beautiful day and a beautiful park for you and your family to enjoy!

Ohhh and I prayed to see Moose! You blessed Girl!
I got interrupted on my last comment, so I came back to read the rest. We went ahead and bought a year pass to the park, so maybe we can meet up sometime.
Have an awesome day! Thanks for praying for me tonight, Joanne.
Love in Him,
holly

quelles belles photos de famille !
(je suis allée à Sprague Lake également -- et à Dillon aussi : ça me fait drôle de voir tout ça et ces beaux endroits me manquent !)
Je vous souhaite à tous de très bonnes vacances d'été (ici elles commencent en juillet seulement) Nous avons eu un mois de mai très pluvieux et attendons le soleil avec espoir et impatience !
PS : elles sont magnifiques tes filles, Joanne !!
