On Wednesday morning we drove up to Boulder and walked around downtown and had lunch.
After lunch, we headed up the mountains to Estes Park where we rented a cottage on a river for a couple nights. We saw the Stanley Hotel (pictured below) which is the hotel from the movie The Shining. Redrum.
Jack helped Daddy grill dinner on Wednesday night.
Jack ate his dinner outside on the picnic table. Behind us is the playground, and the Big Thompson river is just beyond that.
There were a couple of basketball hoops, and Jack enjoyed shooting baskets after dinner.
On Thursday morning, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park for a short hike.
When we reached Alberta Falls, we stopped for a picnic lunch.
The waterfall was beautiful! Jack represented St. Louis with his Cardinals shirt. We saw a number of other hikers with Cardinals, Mizzou, Royals, and other Missouri items of clothing. We even saw someone with a Rams shirt! You don't even see that in St. Louis too much these days.
Kitty and I in front of the falls. Look how tall I am!
Jim rented some fishing equipment and was able to fish in the river right by our cottage.
While Jim fished, Jack threw rocks into the river. After a while a bunch of ducks came over, thinking Jack was throwing food. I brought out some bread and Jack fed the ducks for a while. He loved it!
This morning we went back to Rocky Mountain National Park and drove along the Trail Ridge Road. There were some spectacular views!
