In front of the hotel from "The Shining." It looks like we don't even know each other by the way we are all standing so far apart. This picture makes me laugh!
I like to do random dance moves in empty streets and Ellen just so happened to capture this moment.
Eating, Tawna style
Ellen, me and Becca. I look like I'm about to pray, and Beccas's face is classic.
Becca and I really enjoyed the movie "Star Trek." I know crazy, right? She likes to do the Spock!We picked a campsite and set it up. (Who needs boys for this?! We totally didn't!) And then decided to do some hiking. We hiked to some waterfalls, and then decided to keep going and ended up at Loch Lake, one of the most beautiful sights I have ever laid eyes on. This big, beautiful, clear lake, was surrounded by mountains covered in snow. It was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed there for a while, just taking in all the beauty. I could have stayed there all day! On the way down, it started to downpour, so we went back to our campsite for a while to watch a movie, but then we decided to take a drive to see more of the Rocky Mountains. We saw lots of elk, and the higher up in elevation we went, the more beautiful our surroundings were. I can't describe it, so I'll let the pictures try and do it justice.
Proudly showing off our "putting up the tent" skills!
On the way to the waterfalls. It looks like I'm sneaking up on them. I love this pic!
I loved this rock so much, I had to give it a great, big hug!
Aren't we precious?! Almost as precious as this bridge!
Chacos or bust! Can you tell which foot is mine? (The small, chubby one...)
The waterfalls..I can't remember the name of it but so gorgeous!
My model pose in front of the waterfall, as close as I would get to it anyway. I'm not afraid of heights but getting too close to the edge. When I worked as a camp counselor in the summer, we went on weekly hikes, and I HATED when we got to the top because the kids would get so close to the edge, it would give me anxiety :)
We stopped at the waterfalls to eat. The night before, Hil and I bought this huge sandwich at Wally World and split it in half, we didn't want to make our own sandwiches (Yes, sometimes I am lazy). Well, the sandwich ended up getting wet and was a little soggy, but I was so hungry I scarfed it in, as you can see. My nickname isn't Wide Mouth Frog for nothing!! (Jessica, I put this picture in just for you)
This was taken about halfway up our hike. The longer our hike went, the more frizzy my hair got. Man, it was so humid that day!
The snow we had to hike through to get to the lake. And in my Chacos!!
Loch Lake...breathtaking.
See how clear the lake was? I loved how everything reflected off of it.
At one of our stops on the drive. Can you spot my small head? Hilarious! It was so cold, above 12,000 feet in elevation!

It was such a great way to spend a weekend in Colorado. I really enjoy camping and being in nature!

I love it! How much fun~camping is amazing! Looks like it was an outrageously good time! And did you know they used another hotel for the filming of the shining as well? It's in Canada. Random fact is all. Love you TKins
