Estes Park and RMNP
Dad had Monday off school because of the end of his clinical, so we decided to make the most of it! At 5pm, we called my dad who hooked us up with some Worldmark bonus time at Estes Park, we threw some clothes in a bag, some snacks in a cooler, and hit the road!
No road trip is complete without Cheez-its....
The girls slept all the way up from 6:30-8:30.... so we stayed up and watched "Chicken Little." Hey, it was vacation, right? It merited the 11:30pm bedtime....
Found these matching shirts at separate thrift stores (HEATHER!) and had to get them! My cute little tough cookies :) And the fire wasn't on... that was Brook's pose idea
Wow.... Estes Park is beautiful!
Brook couldn't get over "how cute it is out there!!!"
Long's Peak... Dad will climb this someday!
After we arrived home via the scenic route (never thought I'd enjoy those- I hated car rides as a kid!), we headed to Olive Garden for one last hurrah before Dad is absent for three months (darn homework!). We ordered too much food.... no really, we did!
I love getting to go on spontaneous little trips with my family!

Color Me Rad 5k Denver
Oh my goodness. I was SO excited for this race!
Went to the registration center- picked up our swag.... awesome.
Race day, 7:55 am. We headed to Denver Botanical Gardens at Chatfield. Traffic was HORRENDOUS! But we eventually made it to the parking field! The girls had some cinnamon sugar toast- they were ready to race!
Here's a couple shots from the race- yes we are too cheap to actually buy these shots. We also got some really fun GoPro footage of the race
Color Race Aftermath:
Driving away, we noticed a giant cloud of chalk in the air... it was awesome.
If you have a chance to do one of these, DO IT! It's not about competition- it's about FUN. And it was so much fun! It's the best race for kids because it's short and there is a lot of walkers- it's also fun to try and jog through the throngs of people! There were literally close to 3,000 people there. Getting blasted with chalk while running through the stations just felt rad. We can't wait to do this again!!
