This was the best day! Another item on Thad's CO wish list was to see Rocky Mountain National Park. It just so happened that mom and dad were within driving distance of the park (on the way to come see us enroute from MT to TX), so we met them along the way. We all hopped in our car (minus Kelly--sadly she had work to do and couldn't partake in the fun this day) and toured the park. It was a crisp fall day and it was so fantastic to spend it in this beautiful, new place with family.

A picnic lunch to start our afternoon. |

Yes, it was chilly at the top! |

Enjoying the view of the fall colors. |
'So close, yet so far away....' is what I was thinking as I was watching and photographing these elk.....I had forgotten my tripod at home. UGH! I did the best I could by propping myself on rocks, using my knee, anything to stabilize my lens for these shots. I had never seen elk up this close! It was so neat to watch their behavior and hear them bugle. Just awesome!
