Estes Park

We made the trek up to Rocky Mountain National Park while Pa Joe and Grandma Bonnie were in town.  However, the drive took a little longer than expected.  We were almost there when we found out part of the highway in to Estes Park was closed that day.  They were doing some road repair where the floods, earlier in the season, had gone through.  By the time we got there, Carter was ready to be out of the car.

Bear Lake was colder than I was expecting but, since we made the LONG drive up, we headed out to look at the lake. 

It was still frozen over and had quite a bit of snow.  The wind was blowing making it pretty cold as well, as evidenced by everyone's face.

Someone had built a snowman all the way out in the middle of the lake, and Carter convinced Grandma Bonnie to walk all the way out with him.

 

Another great day with the grandparents, and Carter even got to throw a few snowballs.
