Kate's 2nd Camping Trip

We ventured up to Rocky Mountain National Park, near Estes Park, to take Kate on her 2nd camping trip. We went with some friends of ours - Marne, Rory, and Leo. Leo's 1 year older than Kate, and they played well together! We had really nice chill-out time on our first day (we spent two nights and 3 days out there) and went on a couple great hikes and saw TONS of elk. Kate liked saying that word "elk" cuz she's really into words with the 'k' / 'c' sound lately. She just learned to say her name too!

Here's a great video of Kate and a GIANT slice of watermelon....mmmmmm.


There's a great video below of elk "bugling" - really interesting to hear if you haven't heard them before. You won't believe that elk make that noise, sounds like a creaky door. I didn't believe it the first time I heard it either! Oh and don't mind the "Blair Witch"-type videotaping -- haha!
