Elk Season

Hurray!!!

Another post that has been a long time coming. Megan's family has a tradition of visiting Yellowstone National Park to hear the elk bugle around the start of October. So, since we are off by ourselves we decided to carry on the tradition and visit Rocky Mountain National Park.

There was definitly elk to watch, but there was ton of people as well. I guess we decide to visit during Estes Park's Elk fest. The place was just packed. It was wonderful. We just parked the car in a valley that had a couple of different herds and just watched and relaxed.

There was some bugling but not a lot and the bulls were not as nearly as big as the ones in Yellowstone. However, we almost got to see one fight. Definitely a tradition we will do again next year.

The Rockies Game

Here I am standing in Coor's field home of the Colorado Rockies. We took the train downtown and then had to walk a mile to get to the stadium. So we were pretty excited to finally get there.

Oh look at cute Kenny sitting here in his seat. He looks so happy.

Look at that field.

This picture gives you a good idea of how good our seats were. We were in home run territory, too bad only one ball game close. :(

Aren't we so cute? We left the game at the top of the 9th, the score was 5, 2 Rockies. But by the time we made it to the train the Brewers had made three runs and tied the game, and the game went into extra innings. So ended up leaving as soon as the game was getting exciting. Oops our bad. But it ended up being a win for the Rockies anyway.

Red Rocks

It has been awhile since the last post. We have had a few events since the last time and visiting the Red Rocks Amphitheater. Just west of Denver, the Red rocks is a huge amphitheater that has been cut into the rocks.

We went on a Saturday morning and as you can see there are a ton of people. All of the people are running up and down stairs and seats and just all and all being ambitious and athletic.

Here is our wonderful Megan posing in front of some of the natural features. Maybe we will come back for a concert.
