Estes Park

We were able to very close to several different elk yesterday. This was the largest.

Happy snow girls. They were lovin' life!

Another large elk.

We went to Cheyenne, WY today, just cause we could. This ram was on the side of the road as we left the mountain region. Very cool.

There are these type of boots all over Cheyenne. Kinda like the cows were in SA.

This was a monument in front of the state capital that paid honor to the fact that WY was the first state to recognize equal rights for women.

Mike and the kids in front of the capital. It was closed. It reminded us of a small town courthouse. There is an elementary school directly across the street and houses along the back side. Very, very low key. We thought the pace was slow in Estes Park, but it was really slow in Cheyenne!

Largest outdoor rodeo arena in the world.

This is Fall River. It is about 15 ft from our front door. Sara Beth loves to come and go from the river...

We went to the premier of Twilight for Anna Claire (with Mike). CM, SB, J.W. and I went to Bolt. Neat theater.

J.W. and Sara Beth having fun while we waited for AC's movie to be over.

Sara Beth loves it too.

They all loved the plane ride. And J.W. never made a peep. He is such a great baby, we know how lucky we are.

The river is about 15 steps from our front door. Sara Beth loves that she can go outside all by herself.

Walking around the town.

3 happy Beasley's.

The only thing that Sara Beth repeatedly told us she planned to do when she first saw snow was - make a snow angel.

Bear Lake is completely frozen (behind on the right).

My Boys - I love them!

It snowed in Rocky Mountain National Park last night. We had to go to a very high elevation to find this much snow, but we were the only people there (except some crazy tent campers that were across the lake). So peaceful and beautiful! We were the first to step on the snow. The girls loved it!

Look at the large one under the tree on the right. Elk are everywhere!
Crazy how close you can get. Majestic animals.
