Great Granddaughter

This is one of my little great granddaughters. She rode along with me and her grandparents to Colorado for her Uncle's wedding. We were blessed with a day in which we spent in the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was just beautiful up there. Here you can see how little a 4 year old looks next to just one of the rocks up in the mountains. Although it was sunny, it was a little chilly but we all had a wonderful time.

Rocky Mountains National Park

I just can't seem to quit writing about the beautiful mountains we saw on our trip in June. One of the stopping off points in the Rocky Mountain National Park was here where there was a bridge crossing the base of a waterfall. It was just beautiful, clear water pouring down from the side of the mountain. The elevation was quite high and left you breathless so it was a slow walk to this point. It was, however, worth the walk and a beautiful site to see. My daughter says she is ready to go back there for another vacation.

Rocky Mountain National Park

We were blessed to have our grandson's wedding in early June. The fire started that day and was just one white plume of smoke. We went up into the Park on Sunday and it was just beautiful. Now I understand a great deal has been burned. What a shame. But most of all, it is terrible that many people have lost their homes and more may lose their homes before they get the fire under control. There is so much dead wood and trees to keep feeding the fire. My cousin in Denver says the wind carries the burning embers along, spreading the fires worse.
