Meeting Uncle Todd and Family

Vieve recently got to spend an exciting week getting to know her Uncle Todd, Aunt Deanna, and cousins Jared, Stephanie, and Bryce. They drove out from California to spend the week in Estes Park. We had a great time with them hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, visiting Grand Lake, and hanging out in town and at their condo.

Sunday we went on two short hikes at Bear Lake/Alberta Falls and at Lily Lake and had a yummy dinner with the family. Monday we drove up through Rocky Mountain National Park, played at the ranger station, and went all the way to Grand Lake. Vieve was not happy about the long car ride in the mountains - I think her ears were popping and bothering her. Tuesday we hung out at their place, fed some fish at the fishing pond close by, and walked around Estes Park. Wednesday Papa had to go back to work and Vieve and I hung out at our house and caught up on sleep and laundry while Todd and family went white water rafting (Vieve, you will have to wait a while before attempting that activity!). Thursday Nana was here! Us 3 girls drove back up to Estes Park to visit the family and go to a fun park with big slides, go karts, and bumper cars. Friday was a repeat of Thursday with the added fun of euchre playing most of the day.

It was a great week and Vieve loved meeting her cousins and Aunt and Uncle! We hope to see them again real soon!
