Estes Park Colorado



We decided to head up to Estes Park yesterday which is the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Its a lot like Jackson Hole WY if you have been out there. We have some friends who moved up there so we wanted to see them again before we move farther away and to spend a day in the mountains. We went out to eat and then took the "River Walk" around town. It was a beautiful day and so nice to be up in the mountains.



Mark on the River Walk
The water was completely freezing, pretty much snow melt off from the mountains.

We went on a short walk up to some falls in Rocky Mountain National Park. I am glad the "walk" to the falls wasn't any longer then it was. Its interesting to see what I can do and what I can't do. I am always a little nervous because I have a tendency to become lightheaded pregnant or not.



The bridge before the falls.
It is still really strange to see myself pregnant. (25 1/2 weeks) I am so used to seeing myself pre-pregnancy that when I do see myself I always think, "that's what I look like?" Its not a bad thing just weird.



It felt so cool and nice by the water.
I love being outside. Nature is so pretty we are lucky the we live just an hour and 10 minutes away from such beautiful places. When we move down to Colorado Springs we will be even closer.
