On our trip to Rocky Mountain National Park a few weeks ago, we saw an amazing number of wildlife. The elk were everywhere, and the chipmunks were so cute and tame! I’ve wanted to see a moose for some time now, so when we ran into a group of pedestrians with cameras alongside the road, I was ecstatic to see a moose grazing in a field. We encountered a few mule deer, a snowshoe hare, and squirrels, too.
Check out yesterday’s post: Scenes from Rocky Mountain National Park.
We visited Rocky Mountain National Park a few weeks ago, but I just finished editing photos today. I can’t fit my favorites into one blog post, so I’m splitting it into three. I’ve skied in Colorado many times, but this is the first time in my adult life that I’ve visited in the summer. I was blown away by how pretty it is. This is a place I could never tire of.
Baby K and Lil’ W had their second date last week! (Check out photos from their first date, if you missed them.) We had the pleasure of visiting Lil’ W’s family last week in Colorado … more pics to come soon. I have about 450 to edit. 😉
This lily is even more beautiful than the first one that bloomed in my yard!
This weekend Baby K and I visited Deanna Rose Farmstead with two of my best friends and their four kiddos. These friends are two of four siblings, with a total of seven kids ages three and under. They’re used to the beautiful chaos of lots of children … I am not. But I loved every minute of it.
Yesterday when I got home from work & the gym, my over-tired baby was grouchy. Within minutes she fell asleep in my arms. How could these arms possibly be more comfortable than her bed? I can’t imagine … but I so love it.
Looking back at Baby K’s monthly photos, I think she may have had a growth spurt in the last few weeks. Here’s our monthly photo together. I think this was shot #23 … I look goofy, but at least she’s smiling!
I’ve had quite the day at work today. Luckily I have this photo from yesterday evening to make me smile. She’s definitely got the “Rhodes eyebrow!”
I planted a few lily bulbs last year, and they did ok at best. This year they grew to about four feet tall, and their blossoms are probably eight inches around. They’re huge…and gorgeous!
I was so excited that my good friend and blogger Mandy, and her husband David, joined us for our family Fourth of July celebration this year! On a whim, what turned out to be a photo of Baby K and me, turned into a mini family photo shoot. Most of these were taken by Mandy – thanks, friend!
