hiking along the south platte

The South Platte River...

Charlotte enjoyed 'fishing' with daddy & picking dandelions.

Jon fly fishing along the shore.

On our way home.

a little wine tasting & scenery

The Ciatano Winery at Rock 'n River Day Resort in Lyons, CO was an excellent place

to stop and take a few sips in the wine tasting room on our way to Estes Park with our

great friends Jesse & Andrea Wald, who came all the way from Fargo, ND for a visit.

The pond is filled with trout. In the summer you can catch and keep

for a dollar an inch. They'll fillet 'em and fry 'em with herbs over a

wood fire grill. A little spendy, but that's about as fresh as it gets.

I enjoyed this quaint little patio.

Charlotte absolutely loved the resident cat, who happened to be quite

friendly and didn't seem to mind a little girl's endearing squeezes.

assortiment

I love the irregularity of this arrangement. And the colors--so calming. Oh to be a delicate, little egg so I could nestle up in one of the compartments for awhile.
