Look who came for a visit!

I have been a bit behind in blogging lately...time to play some catch up!  

A few week ago mom and dad Barry came to  beautiful Colorado for a vacation and to visit Jesse and I.  We had a great time and it went by far too quickly!  We wish they could still be here enjoying the nice weather and mountain scenery.

The time spent was full of eating good food, fishing, and some hiking.  Of course mom had to get in her share of shopping in downtown Estes.  For me, one of my favorite parts was going to the other side of the park and seeing a mama moose with two babies right next to the road and eating a picnic lunch at Holzwarth historic ranch in the middle of a brief hail storm.

Fishing for trout at Dream Lake

A walk around Sprague Lake before bratwurst, beans, chips and Capri suns

Picnic during/after the hail storm.  What a great spot!

Retired Ranger

Can you tell we both worked for the park service?

My time as a park ranger has been short lived...(never even got a chance to post pictures of me in my awesome uniform!)  It didn't take long for Jesse and I to realize that 1.  We really like Estes Park   and 2.  We are finally ready to settle down!    ...For a little while at least :)

We came across a job opening for a full-time and permanent activities assistant at Prospect Living Center in Estes park and lo and behold they offered it to me!  Now I get to spend my days hanging out with the elderly playing games, watching the mountains, singing songs, taking them on tours of the park (along with a wide variety of other things) and working with what seems to me to be a really incredible and dedicated staff. 

Jesse is still Ranger Williams and we are excited to see where that path continues to take him.  It is a good fit for him and boy does he look handsome in his uniform...AND now I have a job that is a good fit for me as well.  Yay!  Life is good!  Thanks God!
