When we have visitors here in Wyoming, the number one thing we want to do with our visitors is take them into the mountains in Colorado. So, when my mother called to tell me they were going to come to Wyoming for a visit, I knew we needed to get our reservations to go into Rocky Mountain National Park.
Unfortunately, we didn't have the best weather, but we made the best of it.
When we first got into the park, it was rather nice, but you could see that there was rain coming our way.
We started our time in the mountains by enjoying some lunch. Got to fill up those bellies before we start exploring. After eating, the kids, including Courtney and Grandpa decided to test the water. The water was on another level cold, but the kids didn't mind one bit. Even when it started to rain, we couldn't get those kids out of the water.
We had moments where it was raining and then moments where it was a little chilly, but no rain. Honestly, the mountains looked beautiful with the rain surrounding it.
And oh my goodness!!! We finally saw a male moose!! We were so excited!!
On our way back to the bottom of the mountains, we saw a bunch of cars on the side of the road, so we decided to stop also. We got out of the car and saw that people were watching a mommy and baby moose!
And literally as we were about to exit the park, we saw a moose chilling in the water. Of course, we had to get out and watch. Once we got out and got a little closer, we noticed that her little baby was hanging out at the edge of the water.
Then, all of a sudden we hear this running noise coming our way. We look up towards the road and here comes a male moose, running towards the water. My heart started beating so fast, but wow... it was so cool seeing something like that!!
Mommy and baby weren't too happy seeing the male moose come trotting to the water, so they quickly got out, while the male moose started swimming around.
Out of all the times we have been to the mountains, we have never come across moose in this area, so it was extremely exciting to finally see some enjoying the water!
It may have been chilly and a little rainy, but what a fun day! It was so cool to see so many moose and being able to enjoy it with my parents made it that much better!!
