Very Happy Grandson!

Oma sent Nicholas an early birthday present in the mail, Thomas the Tank Engine Bedding Set!! Nick said "Oh wow! Look at that, mama!" Hehehe He is too cute!! He absolutely loves trains!! Choo choo!! Unfortunately when Grandpa was here we found out the train in City Park is closed till next year! Nick kept saying "Ride the train. Gotta get tickets." And I felt so bad and told him we had to wait till next year even though he didn't know what I was saying! I thought it was going to stay open through September....darn it!

Estes Park

While Grandpa was here we decided to take a drive over to Estes Park which is about an hour away through the mountains. They have a tram you can ride up the mountain that Nicholas really enjoyed! You get to the top and can feed peanuts to the chipmunks that are everywhere. We also walked around in the downtown area of Estes Park which was really beautiful as well! We packed a little picnic lunch and sat next to the river that also had a playground just for Nick!
















Rocky Mountain National Forest

If you keep driving past Estes Park you will run into the Rocky Mountains. We took the southern route down to Bear Lake. Nick did really well and the trail around the lake was even accessible for the stroller. We did alot of walking, even up to the falls, and about half way through I had to carry the Littl' Bugga on my shoulders. He was worn out!

Greek Festival in Old Town

We went to the Greek Festival in Old Town on Saturday and I was too busy enjoying the food and music that I didn't take too many pictures. We wore Nick out and he fell asleep in the stroller!
