For our family vacation this year we decided to go to Colorado to visit cousins Tracie and Jerry. We arrived last Friday the 26th of June and and had some fun just hanging out. On Saturday the 28th, we went to the Wild Animal Conservatory and saw some amazing lions and tigers. They were beautiful and I got some amazing pics of the cheetahs and tigers. On Sunday the 28th, we rode up to Rocky Mountain National Park. We hiked up to Alberta Falls and got some great pics of all of us. We then proceeded to go up to the 12,005ft mark. At this point the altitude was starting to get to Chris and I, but Trenton seemed unaffected as he jogged up all the stairs to get to the top... We made it though even though I was uncertain that I would make it at times... my lungs were having a hard time.
We saw some beautiful scenery, played in some snow (yes, high enough up for snow) and saw some amazing wolves, elk and some moose. Apparently the moose sighting is a very big deal as my cousins have lived here a year and a half and this was their first moose sighting as well.
Today we went White Water Rafting and I believe I have found my new favorite sport! We had such a great time... the boys loved it though they were both nervous at first! But they stepped up and we had an absolute blast. We went down La Poudre River. This is something that we all definitely want to do again soon!!!
All in all we are having a good time here and we are grilling out some dinner right now and opening some wine! More to come on vacation 2009 soon.....
