We have enjoyed so many beautiful gifts from God as we travel through the Rockies of Colorado. We have explored Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park, Breakenridge, and Vail. Along the way we stopped in little towns like Georgetown, Fresco and even Keystone.

We have seen deer and elk on our evening drives through the park, enjoyed several picnics beside the streams or rivers. The weather has been typical of Colorado in the summer; beautiful days with afternoon showers and some lightening and thunder with great big fluffy clouds moving back and forth across the sky.
