My how time flies! I blinked and Summer flew by. We were so busy going places and doing things, that I barely had time to think. Now it's Fall and things are settling down a little bit and we are getting back into a more "normal" routine.
Today we took a drive up through the mountains hoping to find a bit of the beautiful aspen colors left. We missed the peak of it, but did see a little bit. And it was the perfect day for a drive even without the Fall colors. We got to explore some parts of Colorado we haven't seen yet, and it was incredible! There are so many, many beautiful areas in our wonderful state!
 |
| Estes Park: Only an hour from our house, so we come here quite a bit. But it never gets old. The mountains are just spectacular! |
 |
| Lily Lake |
 |
| St. Malo Church |
 |
| Some color left along the way. |
 |
| Beautiful aspens! |
 |
| Central City: A little, old mining town. Now pretty much one casino after another. It's still fun to drive through and see all the old buildings. |
We also got to take a couple family pics. It's hard to get everyone to cooperate, so we only do this once or, if I'm lucky, twice a year.
 |
| All 5 of us...it would have been nice to have coordinating outfits, but you know...at least I got them all in the picture and smiling. Maybe next year.... |
 |
| Me and my love |
 |
| The kiddos...love them! |
 |
| Father and son. |
 |
| Mother and daughters. |
It was a great day spent enjoying beautiful country and special family time. A great way to get into this new season. And hopefully, you'll be hearing more from me soon. I do have ever so much I'd like to write about. I just haven't had ever so much time to do it.
Blessings!
