Elk in Estes Park

We took a short trip to Laramie Wy. today and when we returned to Estes Park, we found the Elk doing a little shopping and strolling in the park.

Ft Collins and Old Town

Monday the 15th Aug, we went with the McKinneys to Ft Collins for lunch
in the "Old Town" section.  Wonderful food on a shaded patio.

And a great specimen of an old English track bike with wooden rims....ooooohhhh....

Don and Pat 50th Party

Sunday night the 14th we celebrated Don and Pat Brownlee's 50th wedding anniversary.
It was quite a too-doo !! - Wedding veil, huge diamond/tinfoil ring and black bow tie.
They met in high school married while attending Baylor.  Don was "All State" basketball and coached high school basketball and Pat was in music. 

Boulder

Saturday the 13th, we took a trip to Boulder for the REI garage sale and bought two garages and a small storage shed.
We also visited the Leaning Tree - a sculpture garden and art museum.  Was beautiful.  Of course I had to take a pic of a flower.

Night Hike

Fridat the 12th Aug we took a night hike to Moraine Park to do some star gazing and hopefully see some of the Perseid Meteor shower.  We saw 3 meteors but I didn't get any pics - man those little burgers are fast !!!
I did take a couple of pics.

Senior Volunteers Dinner

Thurs 11th Aug, we had the Senior dinner in the Walnut Room.  Great food was served - prime rib, crab legs, shrimp, etc.... We showed a slide show of the various activities during the summer of 2011.
We had a group of about 100 and took this pic

Ice Cream Social and Fly Fishing

Monday evening the 8th there was an ice cream social for all volunteers.  Plenty of ice cream and
at least 20 toppings - what a treat.

We were also shopping in Estes Park in the evening and saw this fly fisherman in the stream that runs through town.  Why in the world they want to fish for flys - escapes me - there's no meat on them.
