Mountain Lake

Leave a reply

Mountain Lakes are not only cold, pristine and beautiful, they are also wonderful places to bond with your family.

All that snow melts off the mountains into the lake. That is why it is so cold. And so very cool.

You can swim in the lake with your dog.

It is not fair. He has a fur bathing suit on.

You can climb on a rock with your dad.

He rescued me onto his rock island.

Or you can pose on a bridge with your mom.

Warm snuggles after a cold swim.

Mountain Lakes are a great weekend excursion. Get thyself to one pronto.

As it seems.

Does any of this make you nervous?

Don’t worry, it isn’t all as dangerous as it seems. As much as I love high adventures and climbing anything vertical, I do actually have some sense of safety.

Dad and Uncle Anders were on belay for me.

So now you know the truth.

But still, I make this look good.

Rocky Mountain National Park is aptly named.

Can’t get enough.

One can never get enough of the zoo.

The giraffes and hippos are always interesting.

Feeding the lorikeets is exciting and entertaining.

But the very best part of the zoo is that there are bunnies hiding in all the bushes and gardens. Magical.

But maybe the very other best part of the zoo is when I sweet talk dad into buying me a stuffed kangaroo.

I am a lucky girl to get taken to the zoo so frequently. Thanks mom and dad.

Second summer.

Since this is my second summer, I am becoming quite an expert on how to enjoy this season. If you want to know how you too can make the most of your summer days, allow me to give you some suggestions.

Install a pool in your backyard.

Install a slide for that pool.

Plant some flowers. Then don’t touch them because it will make your mom mad.

Decorate the flagstone walk with chalk. But don’t eat the chalk because it doesn’t taste good.

Run through a fountain on your local walking mall.

Have a picnic dinner in the park.

And always take a moment to enjoy the summer sunset.

Now get out there and enjoy your summer. I’m certainly enjoying my second one so far!

Mountain getaway.

I love when we leave our mountains for a little break and go to the mountains. Last weekend we did a few new and different mountain things.

I learned the basics of fishing.

And we went over Rabbit Pass (I love that name) to a town named Steamboat. It has waterfalls, cowboy stores and a ski resort without snow.

I love the high country, even without the sparkly snow!

Easter Day.

Happy Easter!

I hope you put on your Easter Dress.

I hope you gathered with your family.

And I hope you had a picnic in the park.

But most of all, I hope you took a moment to think about what it means when someone says “He is Risen!”

“He is risen indeed!”

Easter Eve.

In between Good Friday and Easter is a day known as Easter Eve.

Mom and Dad took me to someone’s house with a huge yard. This person must be really messy because they had plastic eggs of all sizes strewn around and they wanted all the kids to help pick them up.

I was glad my basket was so small because then I only had to get a few eggs, most of which I took from other kids.

I thought it was all kind of odd until mom told me to open one of the eggs.

Then it all became clear. The homeowner isn’t messy, they just have a giant magic plastic chicken that lays eggs filled with toys!!! I can’t wait to clean up after it next Easter Eve!!!
