Colorado 2010
the rest of my family had been planning on going to colorado for some time now
Lindsay was out there for a work conference
and Kelsey stopped in Denver on his way back from Las Vegas
with my job, I never expected to get to go
but at the last minute I was able to fly out and join the rest of the family for a few short days of vacation and sightseeing
here are a few pictures...
Flying to Colorado
Landed in Denver
Mom and I had an adventure going downtown to pick up Lindsay and Kelsey
Driving across the Rocky Mountains
Driving through one of the tunnels
entering the Rocky Mountain National Park
Looking out the window in RMNP
This is as far as Kelsey would gowe we're at about 12,000 feet above sea level
and other's went even further
Then we got stuck in traffic cause they were working on the roads
so we had our picnic inside the car
and we waited for well over an hour before we could start our trek down the mountain
cheese and crackers
on my lap

Then it was off to Anderson Camps to see where Mom and Casey are working for the summer
A view from camp
This is "Sleeping Indian"
named because the rock formation looks like an indian sleeping
a view of the camp and the horse fields
This is Bob, my horse
he took me up the mountains
and man was I sore when I got off
Riding up the mountain
Casey, working in the kitchen
as the Camp Dishwasher
another of his duties is to sell stuff at the Camp Store
Jamison is his co-worker
and further up the road is Sweetwater Lake Resort
Where they make the worlds best pie
we had to call ahead and reserve an apple pie because they go so fast
and while you eat your pie you can watch the hundreds of humming birds
and my short vacation ended with snow as we drove back to the Denver airport

During a boat trip across the Gulf of Papagayo, this nice parrot decided that he couldn't stand the heat of the Guanacaste summer and decided to take a bath.
