Visitors

My parents came to visit us at Jellystone!  They arrived on Monday and have been sightseeing around the area.  The next day they went to Rocky Mountain National Park and drove through the whole park and took lots of pictures.  As it turns out, they picked the best day to go -- it snowed up there the next day!  Wednesday around here was cool and rainy most of the day.  The mountaintops in RMNP were covered in new snow. Today we had thunder snow, which if you have never experienced is pretty amazing.  This was while the sun was shining, too!  In the picture above the snow flakes are falling around us, but you can't really see them.  


We drove in to Estes Park and toured the Stanley Hotel, which is where the movie The Shining was filmed.  The owner was the brother of the Stanley who invented the Stanley Steamer.  There was a Stanley Steamer in the lobby of the hotel.  It's a beautiful, big old hotel, that was built in 1909.  The snow came and went all day.


Mom & Darrell leave tomorrow to head to Bennett, Colorado, to see Gary & Barb.  It's been fun to have them here and I hope they have enjoyed the little cabin they have stayed in at our park.  


The campground gets very busy starting tomorrow -- after all, Memorial Day is the beginning of the camping season!  We are "sold out" for the three-day weekend!  


I'm very proud to say that my son, Brett, is going through commencement this afternoon for a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Arts. Way to go Brett!
