Estes Park and Rocky Mt. National Park

Amy(Bevin's sister) came to visit us this past week.  We had lots of stuff planned and had a very busy and fun week!!!!
First we went to Estes Park and Rocky Mt. National Park. 




This is the Stanley Hotel, where we stayed.  It is know for being that place that Stephen King was staying at and was inspired to write The Shining.  They play The Shining over and over in your rooms!  It is supposed to be a pretty spooky and haunted place!

The room that Stephen King stayed in.  Since then many other famous people have stayed in this room and it is booked out up to 6 months in advance!


We spent the day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park.  We saw a waterfall, elk, big horn sheep, turkeys and lots of beautiful views! 




We also stopped at the visitors center and watched a film about the park and Carter got a cute Eagle hand puppet. (no pic)
We ate at two really yummy places in Estes Park.  One BBQ place and another was a sandwhich/pizza place.  We also got some yummy chocolate and fudge!
If you have seen the movie The Shining then I guess you will understand this video of Carter!!!!!:)
