Rocky Mountians to Grandchildren

The Grand Adventure continues. After our visit to Estes park on Tuesday we returned to our camp site and while preparing dinner we had a couple visitors that just wondered through. I guess they were use to people

 

being around because they walked around and through all the camp site for quite awhile. At least it wasn't bears .

On Wednesday August 11 we packed up the trailer for our trip acrosss the 

Rockies. We headed up the Trail Ridge Road and it was a beautiful ride. The crazy part was that they were doing road construction and there were parts where it was one lane going up.                                                                                                                                                   

But we did make it to the top.

After a warming cup of coffee we headed down the other side. This was truely a great ride with lots of switchbacks and curves. A little on the scary side for me in the back seat a couple of times but I did enjoy it.

Then it was across western Colorado and into Utah. We did have to stop and put on rain gear again, but it was never really hard rain. Thought for awhile that we would miss it but then the roadcurved again and we ran through it for awhile.

We ended our day in Naples, Utah.

On Thursday August 12, we headed north up through more mountian and by the Red Canyon,

and into Wyoming, west to Evanston Wy where we headed north again and back into Utah. After one more climb into the mountians to Bear Lake we head down by the Bear River into the Cache Valley  

and into Smithfield where we were greeted by our sweet daughter and five beautiful grandchildren. And there we have been for the last two days getting as many hugs or what ever as is possibly.and there we have been for the past three days. On

Friday we just hung out and enjoyed the kids

That hot dog is as big as Tara

and then on Saturday we went to the county fair, which was a real treat with all the little ones and the bigger ones also. Yeah for fair food!! Funnel cake and ribbon fries, yum!  Today has been a really good day. Church where the younger three girls were dedicated and then home for a nice nap.

We are really having fun and the weather here is great. High eighties in the day time with no humidity. Two more days here then we head to Yellowstone.  I will try to do better with the updates so they won't be so long. See you next time.
