It was a lovely beautiful and amazing day.

Rocky Mountain National Park....I've heard good things about you. The first time I went it was a fall day and boy did it snow...ruined plans, didn't even know you could see fourteeners! 

So on the drive in yesterday when I saw these huge storm clouds looming I thought our day would be ruined...but it wasn't.

 I have always loved Moose. A few years ago I heard Moose had moved to Colorado and it became my ultimate mission to find one. Alas, its is very difficult to find a moose! I was even in Maine in January and kept my eyes peeled and I didn't see a moose, I was very sad. On our 2013 summer list one of our items was "see a moose in Estes Park." Everyone said it would be difficult if not impossible, you have to be in the right place at the right time.....and then we were

We were driving around RMNP and saw a sign for Bear lake, we decided to go there. We drove and followed the signs and for what seemed like quite awhile later we were still not there. Then I passed a sign that said "Sprague lake" change of plans, I turned around and took the road for Sprague. As I am pulling into the area I glance out at the glimpse of the lake I can see and GASP. I gasped so loudly I freaked out my husband....RUSS, A MOOSE! I THINK I SAW A MOOSE! and then we all flew out of the car and low and behold, there she was....my beautiful miracle I can't believe I've found you moose.

 and even better? She had a baby :)

 After our amazing RMNP visit we drove over to my brothers, and the cousins played and had a great time,

A perfect day!

Summer life.

I mentioned on Facebook the other day that Summer is an always messy house, kids reaching high decibel levels, stepping on Legos and falling over American girls, the biggest piles of laundry ever,sibling rivalry, lots of lame easy meals and leftovers, staying up way too late and sleeping in, it's straight up crazy time....but I will miss these butt heads when they go back to school in 16 days. Its true, I will miss them., because Summer is a lot of fun, freedom, imagination, and playing.

My new friend, he's sexy and he knows it

Summer is rad.
