\n<\/a>We left Oklahoma to make our way to Estes Park, Colorado for one of my cousin\u2019s weddings. \u00a0We were able to hang out with my Nana, aunts, uncles, and cousins from Illinois. \u00a0It\u2019s always good to see everyone.<\/p>\n

These are views from our cabin. \u00a0We had a nice view of the mountains.<\/p>\n

All the women in our cabin (missing Megan)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We went shopping along a river walk. \u00a0Nana was sure that Melissa was going to push her in the river.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The wedding venue was beautiful. \u00a0It was an outdoor venue so thankfully the weather was amazing. \u00a0On the way to the parking lot we were able to see some elk.<\/p>\n

The reception was held at a beautiful steakhouse in town. \u00a0I always have fun partying with my family.<\/p>\n

We got nana out on the dance floor. \u00a0She\u2019s got some moves!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday, we decided to go into the Rocky Mountain National Park to do an easy, short hike to a waterfall. \u00a0While we were getting ready to leave, we happened to hear on the news that it was actually free National Park day so they expected the park to be at capacity by 10am. \u00a0We decided to attempt to go anyways. \u00a0We made it about 5 miles from our trailhead when the rangers made us turn around because parking was full. \u00a0It was time for plan B. \u00a0We decided to drive one of the scenic roads through the park. \u00a0At the highest point, the elevation of the road would be 12,000+ feet. \u00a0We stopped a few times for overlooks. \u00a0Everything was so beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At one point we got out and walked up a path that went through a Tundra. \u00a0It was very cold, super windy, and hard to breathe. \u00a0We were not prepared for that climate. \u00a0Melissa, Neil, and me were the only ones to walk to the top. \u00a0We were at 12,250+ feet and frozen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We decided to head back down and go grab some lunch. \u00a0After lunch, we decided to give the short hike another try. \u00a0The news said after 3 would be a better time to go. \u00a0They were wrong! \u00a0We couldn\u2019t even get to the point we did in the morning. \u00a0So, once again we went with plan B. \u00a0We found another relatively short hike. \u00a0The air wasn\u2019t really moving in the afternoon and it was really smoky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We decided to have a relaxing evening at home playing cards and just hanging out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the morning, we all said see you later. \u00a0Scott and I are making our way to South Dakota to go see Mount Rushmore.<\/p>\n
