Colorado is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The weather is crazy – 85 degrees one day, 30 degrees the next – but it’s an amazing place to live so you just gotta deal with it.

I thought it was going to be 80 degrees today… at least that’s what the forecast said. I’m beginning to think that Yahoo will hire me to do the weather forecast. If I’m accurate 15% of the time, I do believe I have a future in meterology in this grand state. I digress, it ended up being much, much cooler so it put a kink in our plans to hike at Estes Park.

The girls cried and clung to their daddy. BUT, we saw animals. Lots of animals. And we paid $20 to give them a “Jurrassic Park” style tour of the park from our SUV. No power outages, no wild dinosaurs…just a lot of peaceful, beautiful animals, and a lovely day in Colorado.
