The Sutterfields End of the Summer Visit

At the end of August, my parent's decided to come up for a week around Boone's birthday. We picked them up from the airport and headed directly to the mountains to spend Labor Day weekend in Winter Park. We grew up going skiing in Winter Park, but my parents had never been there in the summer, so they wanted to experience what it was like.

When we got into town they were having a festival at one of the local shopping areas. We walked around and heard a bit of music.

The next day we drove through Rocky Mountain National Park. The weather wasn't great, but it was still a  pretty drive (and COLD at the top!)

Near the peak of the park is a gift shop and visitor center. Boone really loved the little ranger costume's binoculars!

Later that night we went and checked out a local park. It was a really neat park and Boone had a blast.

Probably some of the last blooms for these flowers. It was already getting chilly while we were there, so I'm sure snow wasn't too far away.

Once we got back in town, we decided to check out some things in Denver that we hadn't had the chance to see yet. One of those places is the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. My dad was anxious to see this museum, because he had heard it was really neat.

They had an awesome kids area that was free with admission to the museum. It had just opened last summer and Boone LOVED it!

Dinosaur skeletons! There were several and Boone seemed to really enjoy seeing them!
