I love Colorado!!!!!! I am so glad you and your family got to enjoy the fall. I am out and about today to enjoy the last sunny day here for a a long time way over the other side of the Atlantic. Next 7 days call for rain rain and more rain...

Cannot wait hear more about your weekend.

What beautiful pictures and abeautiful family. That little Abbey is so cute.....she looks like she must have a fun little personality!

OK, exactly how close did that bear get to you? Who took that picture?? Scary, but cool.

Colorado is just gorgeous.

And Meredith you are not aging at all!!!

Those are beautiful pictures!! All the elk remind me of the summer I spent in Arizona and saw signs on one of the major roads:
Elk are Large...In herds they run...Across the highway...Don't hit one! Quite catchy that 10+ years later I still remember them. = )
