Our last full day of camping… what shall we do? We decided to go into Estes Park and walk around… it is the town outside of the park and it is set up well for tourists. We spent a couple of hours going through T-shirt shops and Christmas stores, and then we had lunch on the river at a restaurant called Poppy's. It was really tasty. Then it was back to camp. We spent the afternoon playing a new monopoly game, well the kids did, I don't have the patience for that but it kept the kids busy for hours while Tim and I sat around and reflected on our trip and did some packing up and cleaning. Dinner came next then it was back to the amphitheater for our nightly ranger program. Tonight it was about the pine mountain beetle which is destroying a lot of the forests in the west. They made it like a play where the ranger was a beetle telling her story and they played a lot of Beatles songs… the girls got to be beetles and were dancing on the stage. Rocky Mountain has to have the most creative and fun ranger programs; we were so excited for them every night. Then it was off to the RV for bed. We will leave first thing in the morning, done with camping and soon this trip will be a treasured memory…
