Picnic by the Big Thompson

This bird was almost stalking us...waiting for us to leave so it could eat our leftovers!

Saturday July 10: My cousin Laura came out to Colorado to work on her dissertation and was able to visit us for a few days! She used to live in Greeley but now is teaching in West Virginia. It has been a while since we have seen her and we were so excited to see her! We went up the canyon to the Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park which is right along the Big Thompson River. It was my first time going to the park, and it was beautiful! We had such a great time!
