Aspen Trees

Aspen trees are my favorite:) As we were driving up the mountain in the jeep we rented for the day, we saw tons of aspens. I made my dad pull over a couple times so i could snap a few shots. Nothing screams Colorado like a bunch of aspens!

My Sister, and Me

Together at the continental divide

Riding in the windy jeep up the mountain

I was so happy so see my sister and spend some time with her and my brother! It was so great to have the family all together again! :)

Mt. Princeton

Princeton's mountain range in the sun.

Princeton in the rain

Mt. Princeton is the Prince of Beuna Vista. Everywhere you look, Mt. Princeton is there watching over you. He is gorgeous! He is gorgeous in the rain, gorgeous in the sun, gorgeous in the night. I love Princeton.

Continental Divide

Oh, the lama... on some of the backpacking trips they take lamas to help them carry the cumbersome load. We just happened to see one while we were there.

On my birthday we drove to the Continental Divide (Cottonwood Pass). My sister and I did a little exploring together. I loved seeing all the wild flowers and ponds. OH, what a sight!

Beuna Vista Beauty

Oh, Beuna Vista... The beauty of Colorado only begins there. I LOVE Beuna Vista. Both my brother and sister have the priviladge of living there this summer while they work with an white water rafting/hiking company, Noah's Ark. So, when we went to visit them my parents and I stayed at a B&B right on the Arkansas river :) It was wonderful. Again, I LOVE Beuna Vista!!

The Final Days of the Trip...

It has been such a great week! I had a great 15th birthday, we went white water rafting today and i have taken more pictures than i know what to do with. I am super excited to edit them which is half the fun and then share them with you! The mountains here are BEAUTIFUL!! God is truely amazing! I am so glad that he had us in mind when He created the earth for us to enjoy! OH, how He loves us!
