Rocky Mountain National Park

 Within minutes of entering Rocky Mountain National Park, we spotted a moose!

Our traveling companions, Mountain Grandma and Grandpa (Chris and Al)

 

 The Bischoff kids

 Enjoying our picnic lunch.

 Exploring the meadow.

 A nice family shot!

 The 3 Billy Goats Gruff

We found a patch of snow!

 

 Trying to snowboard!

 At a trickling waterfall.

 On the go!

But she can stop for a picture!

 

 A root to represent Charlie's 8th birthday the next day!

My little explorers have to see everything.  They did not want to leave!

Look closely and you'll see the muddy shoes and soggy pants!

 

Taken from the driving car near the highest point on the road.

 

Snuggling up!  It's cold at the top!

 Chloe must be used to the routine of posing for pictures.  She found this rock and insisted on be lifted onto it.  "Take picture of meeee!"

Fearless Lucy.  She doesn't care about the huge drop on the the other side...

 

Grandpa and Grandma with the kids.

 

 Another good one with the family!

I love this spot for taking pictures!

Molly Brown House

 Grandma and Grandpa Bischoff came for a visit to Denver.  We thought we'd go see the Unsinkable Molly Brown's city home which is now a museum.

 The picture is blurry, but it gives a better view of the house.

Climbing up on fences.  Luckily, we didn't get kicked out but we came close...

Colorado Renaissance Festival

 We were first in line to ride the elephants!

First time for me and Chloe but Charlie and Lucy have done this before!

 Listening to Celtic Legacy play the drums and bagpipes.

 The Puke & Snot Show (wasn't quite as vulgar as the name implied...)

Tournament of Skill Combat Jousting

 

The girls are more interested in Charlie's bread bowl of soup...

 

The Children's Carousel

Charlie was too big for this one.  I guess when you use manual labour, you only want the littlest kids sitting on the ride!

 

 

Ready to leave after a hot and sweltering day!

Happy Father's Day!

 Presents for Daddy!

A Rockies hat!

 

 Wolves howling at the moon - a classic shirt!

 Coffee mug designed by the kids.  

Charlie made an awesome card for Dad.

 

So did Lucy and Chloe!

 

A photo book filled with 8 years of pictures of Phil and his kids.
