Our exciting and long-awaited adventure to Todd and Julie's started on Saturday when we left Anoka with Mimi, Rachel and Owen! After 1100 long miles,a stop at Wall Drug for our "free ice water"
and time to play in their back yard,
a visit to Mt. Rushmore,one cold night of tent camping, (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
and a winding drive through Rocky Mountain National Park, (where we spotted this moose and many elk, antelope and mule deer!)
we arrived on Sunday afternoon.Julie, our enthusiastic hostess, has planned a week of fun for everyone!
Owen already got to know Sadie's little pony friend, "Geri" (which is short for geriatric)
...and we went down to see Julie's river (they have river access rights to the Blue River) which flows north about 10 miles from here to Kremmling and into the Colorado River. Phil got water for Julie's plants, Mimi picked wild flowers, Owen threw clover blossoms into the rushing water and Caleb took a swim....
This is a such beautiful place. I am excited to know that Julie will soon be starting a blog from here called Mountain Horizons.
Much more to come....

What an adventure! I would love to see Mount Rushmore ... I've only ever seen it on North by Northwest ... LOL! Looks kinda fake with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint crawling on the noses ...
Jenn,
Mount Rushmore used to be seen from the road in a "drive-by", but you almost have to park and walk up to really appreciate it now.
Hey, we don't have the humidity in Colorado that we find elsewhere. It is kind of refreshing!
