The Froehlich's: Colorado Vacation

We took our first family vacation (besides our past vacations to SD & IA from NM) to Colorado to do some hiking and also to visit our friends, the Becks-Jerry & Nadine, and their kids and families. Dan and Bella came with us and was great to have their company! We had an awesome time! We left Tuesday evening at 6 and drove through the night, arriving in Ft Collins at the Becks at 3:30 AM. We crashed there and in the morning drove to Estes Park, where we had a cabin, FloAnn's Cottages, for 2 evenings. I would highly recommend it to anybody staying there. It was a few miles outside of Estes, and off the highway enough, making it very peaceful. We spent our days there hiking and loving the great outdoors. Friday we then drove up to Ft Collins to stay with the Becks, and visited a couple breweries and just had a great time with them. It had been since we lived in Albuquerque that we'd seen them, so we had a lot of catching up to do. I am ashamed to say that I didn't even get a pic of the 4 of us or all of us together. On Sunday about 9AM we made the long drive home and arrived about 11 PM. It was a long day but great memories were had :)

Hiking at Lilly Lake

Olivia HAD to be the leader and had a fit, or meltdown if you will, if anybody else got in front of her.

Cora was nothing but a trooper in her back pack the whole time!

At the highest point that we reached (by car). Olivia was starting to get motion sickness & was white as a ghost from driving in the mountains so we couldn't go much further. But she came out of it & thnakfully wasn't altitude sickness.
