Tuesday
We learned something about our daughters today: they are fearless, and not scared of heights!
We drove around the Rocky Mountain National Park, and stopped at several trails or overlooks. The girls climbed all over the rocks, and were not daunted by the height or steepness of the trails. Even Kaylin, who is somewhat slower normally because of her hip. She wanted to hold my hand, but was right up there with Macy.
We ate lunch with the group from our church at a neat river, and all the kids climbed all over the rocks and trees in the river. All the moms got a neat picture with about 15 kids on a rock in the river. Bobby took Macy across the river on a tree branch, because all the big kids were too. Kaylin had her first experience with going to the bathroom outside, and it only took her 6 tries to be able to go.
After lunch we found a beautiful waterfall, called Alluvial Falls. We actually stopped there when Macy was about 6 months old, so it will be neat to compare pictures. The girls amazed us again, wanting to climb the rocks to the top. Kaylin and I only made it halfway, but Bobby and Macy made it nearly to the top. I’ll post some pictures when we get back that show how high they were. Towards the bottom, they played in the water for close to an hour, despite the frigid temps.
Drew and the girls dug holes for chipmunks (or as Kaylin says, “chickmunks”) with spoons, trying to lure them in. No luck yet.
We roasted more “smushmallows”, and made Grandma’s Special—burnt marshmallows. The girls were exhausted, and just conked out. Must be all that climbing and the altitude.
