Memorial Day Weekend at Estes Park

We took a family vacation to Estes Park over Memorial Day weekend. We had such a great time and stayed right across the street from the lake. We met up with some friends, Jenny and Ross, on Saturday night...they were up there with family at their family's cabin. They were gracious enough to invite us over for dinner. We had so much fun hanging out with Jenny and Ross' family and they they took us around their land which was about 8 acres and included an awesome little creek. Made me wish I was a 7-year old boy...all the sticks and forts I could've built:) Bennett would have LOVED it! They had the most amazing views and it was so quiet and peaceful:)

We enjoyed a nice walk around Estes Lake, a boat ride, shopping in downtown Estes Park, and a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had such a good time and I'm looking forward to our next weekend getaway!
