Family Reunion

Our family reunion was at Estes Park, Colorado. A very beautiful place up in the Rocky mountains. We stayed at the YMCA of the Rockies
This is a group of hikers that went into Rocky Mountain National Park

My amazing mom, it was her side of the family that we had the reunion with. Her two brothers were there and their extended families.

The little ones went for pony rides. I do have to say that Claire enjoyed this experience the most. She smiled waved, and bounced up and down the ENTIRE time. She did now want to get off her pony. Maybe they have a future rodeo princess on their hands. Bailey rode on Star and Maddie on Shortcake. Bailey wanted to buy the helmet, horse, and saddle and take it all home.


We stayed at the Mountainside Lodge. It was a national historic site at about 9,000 feet. An amazing place to stay. There were a total of 9 families at the reunion.

There is also a famous hotel at Estes Park, The Stanley Hotel. It is the inspiration for the movie The Shining. Parts of Dumb and Dumber were filmed there.
