Mighty Mountains

We took our first vacation since having Isaiah and it was awesome! We left on a Thursday and drove out to Fort Collins, Colorado, which is where Andy's brother, Brady lives. After finding out that when traveling with a little one you need to ask some questions before reserving a hotel, we got settled into our room. On Friday we drove up into the mountains to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. We stopped by the road side and saw a bunch of mule deer and they even had a fawn with them! It was pretty cool!



We ate lunch at a really greasy burger place in Estes Park. It was good food, but enough fat and grease for the whole weekend! Then we went over by the river again.



After lunch we went up the tram onto the top of the mountain and fed some chipmunks. Isaiah thought it was really neat. Then we drove up to the top of the mountain...all the way above the tree line! It was an awesome view!

On Saturday we went to the New Belgium Brewery. We took the guided tour and it was really interesting. Our tour guide was really good and Isaiah got to do some running around, and tried out a little bike that was upstairs in one of the brewing rooms! In the afternoon we went down to the Pouche River and Isaiah had a blast throwing rocks. He got his clothes soaking wet, so he had to ride back to the hotel in just his diaper!
