No new pictures today. Just wanted to tell you about today's weather. Woke up this morning to very cold rain. Before we left for work, big ole snowflakes began to fall. Not enough to cover the ground, but definitely enough to cover the cars. It rained/snowed most of the morning. Tonight the temp is 46 and the breeze is cold. We know you Texans are jealous. I am hoping that tomorrow will be a little warmer and drier.
Daddy is still hobbling pretty bad with the knee. But he isn't doing what the doctor said to do. So I am not very sympathetic. HMOC

June 2, 2008
Todays travels took us to the north of Estes Park to the Poudre Canyon. We had seen pictures of how beautiful it is. And lots of people raft of kayak down the river. Beth, Mat, Jack and Becky did this rafting several years ago. However today it was muddy brown looking and the water was very swift. We went about an hours drive from Ft. Collins and decided that was enough of that.
We did see three or four female sheep crossing the road in front of us in the Loveland canyon and took a couple of other pictures. So all in all it was a good day trip.
Memorial Day 2008
Jack and I tried our hand at snowshoeing. The object of the hike was to travel on snowshoes up the winter route to Mills Lake. We were told that if you could hike it would be easy to snowshoe. Well, we learned that everyone does not tell the truth. :-) Actually, the snow was beginning to melt and it was either mushy or iced over where it had melted and re-froze. I guess we were successful in that we made it down without anything broken. But we were not successful in that we did not make it all the way to Mills Lake. BUT, we can say that we tried it once and that will probably be enough for a life time. We were so busy trying to stay up that we didn't get any pictures of us with the sn owshoes on. But here a couple of pictures taken while we were resting on the trail.
