Amazing creation.

Day 7 - Tuesday, January 16
It started to warm up a bit today and it was absolutely beautiful. We got an early start to go snowshoeing at Rocky Mountain National Park. As we drove to the park, we were struck by the mountains with the gigantic green trees, untouched white snow all with a backdrop of the bluest sky we've ever seen. As we drove through the winding roads, we could only imagine that this was a tiny preview of what the Lord has in store for us in heaven.

...and then, came the snowshoeing. It worked okay for the first 1/4 mile or so, but then Katie and Micah got fed up with the pull behind sled we had them in. But, the snow was too deep for Micah to walk in without his own snowshoes and Katie was too heavy to carry through the snow. So, it was a short lived trip for Chris and I. Chris' parents and brother continued their trek through the forrest while we headed back to the cabin for the kids to take nap. Even though it was a failed adventure for us, it was well worth the drive just to see the scenery.

We ended the day by eating at a local restaraunt called Chop House. We came back to the cabin to pack up and clean up the cabin. Tomorrow, the amazing vacation comes to an end. It was a great trip, but we are definitely looking forward to sleeping in our own beds tomorrow night.
