Celebrating America

I couldn't think of a more perfect spot to spend our Fourth of July than hiking through Rocky Mountain National Park.  My mom is a high level picnic maker, so we packed it up and headed to Estes Park.  The kids were in heaven, shedding shoes to hop through an ice-cold mountain creek, balancing expertly across a fallen-log-bridge, marveling at an up-close encounter with an enormous elk, and even playing in some snow!






Why oh why did Si feel the need to take off his shoes in the middle of an icy rock field?
