Mountains and Hiking and Elk, Oh My!

Finally, just about one month later, we are posting a summary blog about our trip to Colorado.  We're on top of things.  Now imagine the trash we need to take out to the can in front of our house.
 
Moving on...
 
First and foremost, the deer and the elk were seen each and everyday which was really fun for us to see because Matthew obviously never has and was old enough to be really interested in them.  
  
 
 
There are three deer in this picture, although it appears as though the one eating from the feeder has a second head.  This bird, I mean deer, feeder is right outside the dining room window.
 
 
We went to a restaurant called The Other Side where they put out bread to feed to the ducks that live in the pond.  You can also watch them from your dinner table.

 
At dinner, we were trying to teach Matthew some manners, like say "excuse me" when you fart, don't pick your nose when people are looking, and don't throw your sippy cup in Daddy's eating area because he has already moved his plate to the edge of the table.  You be the judge of our parenting success or lack there of:
 
 
 
 
 Here is a picture from our drive up Trail Ridge Road:


These pictures are from our wonderful albeit windy walk up the tundra:

 
Matthew's having fun!





 
Our last day in Estes we went to Sprague Lake, a family favorite.  Matthew really seems to like hiking!
