Rocky Mountain National Park

DSC_0067

It occurred to me today
that reading my blog after a vacation
is a lot like being invited over
(back in the day)
to watch my slideshow.

But hey.  It's how I narrow the photos down for the books I make.
You can back away slowly, and I will never know. 
So we're good, right?

But Rocky Mountain National Park is absolutely breathtaking
So you may (or may not) want to stick around today.
I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Added bonus?  The Jr. Ranger program.
It's amazing they can hold the attention of my tweens, but they do.
It won't be long now.
I LOVE the National Parks Jr. Ranger programs.

Earning their Jr. Ranger badges was cool, but that wasn't their dream for our vacation.

Next time we'll see how they lived their dreams.

Gorgeous pics Tracy! I've seen them come across FB & Flickr and I am glad for the opportunity to look at them again on your blog. Can't get enough of beautiful scenery like that!
