Mt. Evans

Mountain Goats on Mt. Evans.
They let us get super close to them and didn't seem scared at all!

When we left Denver it was 100*, when we got to the top of Mt. Evans it was 54*.  Brrr!


Camping

Its been awhile since I have posted anything.  I meant to post about our camping trip to Wyoming a long time ago, but never got around to it.  It felt so good to get out of the city for awhile.  The stars were super bright, and you don't hear any cars.  There is pretty much no one around up in Wyoming...completely different than Colorado.  One night on our way up to our camping sight we almost hit a mountain lion. Yikes!  I knew those things were big but didn't realize they were that big...it was huge.  I wish I could've got a picture, but he disappeared pretty fast.  The rest of the night I was a little paranoid, I almost slept in the Jeep, but decided I didn't want so sleep alone :)
The guys did a lot of fishing while I sat and read a book.  There was still a lot of snow high up in the mountains...and it wasn't very warm!


Mom, these ones are for you!  I tried taking many pictures of the flowers, but most of them were blurry...not sure why?!

I am so glad we were able to get up there to camp...hopefully we will have time for one more trip up there before summer is over.  Before we go camping again, I am definetely going to get a new sleeping bag.  I woke up both mornings with numb feet and had to start a fire to warm up!

4th of July

Saturday night we went to another Rockies game...this time I actually watched the whole thing:)  After the game they had fireworks.  They put on a pretty good show!
Sunday night it was cold and rainy so we decided to just drive around and see fireworks.  Since it is so flat out here, we could see fireworks all over the city! 
We had thought several times today that it wouldv'e been nice to go up to the Harbor...we are just a little too far away for that!
I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July!
