After her conference in Denver, she and Aunt Temple headed to Estes Park, outside the Rocky Mountain Park. It was soooo pretty, and warm, and then....
BAM!! Snow!! It was crazee! While dad and Duncan and I were sweating our butts off in 90 degrees, mom and Aunt T had a winter wonderland!!
This is at Bear Lake...somewhere, under that snow is water....
How much snow you ask? Well take this example, mom and Aunt T were walking ABOVE the trail marker signs, they had to be dug out so they knew where they were! That's like 5 feets of snows!
But even with the snows they found wildlife, they found this bunny. Apparently, the snow makes the bunnies crazy, cause while all the park signs say DO NOT APPROACH WILDLIFE the wildlife must not do the same, cause this bunny charged Aunt Temple...Frankie Furter is right, bunnies are the devil!
They finally found some lowland areas that weren't up to their butts in snow. That's mom looking like a frozen hermit in the corner.
After all the hiking, mom and Aunt T went to stay at the Stanley Hotel, where some dude wrote some Shining book. It snowed all night there too! It is pretty though, and dog friendly which allowed mom to see puppens and miss me!
Check out that stairwell....I'd so want to slide down the banisters!
This is the part mom stayed in. No ghosts though. I think they were scared I'd come put the bitey on them if they messed with the mom.
Mom said this is the hallway that inspired the creepy scene in the movie...
When they awoke on Sunday to come home, this was their view. I know a few husky-roos who'd have a BLAST there!!!
When mom got out my present, I thought she was being mean! I can't has chocolate! 
Oh, but no, I was wrong, this was a doggie friendly chocolate NOM!!! Oh, Duncan and I NOMMED out hearts out!! It was glorious!!!So, we're here for now. Mom leaves Sunday for a beach conference! Gah woman! If we missed your blogs we apologize, we're going to try to make the rounds today!! Chocolately kisses!
What great pics and what great NOMS - I an drooling on the keyboard just looking at it and Mom hates it when I do that!
ReplyDeleteWe loved looking at all the photo's, we never see snow like that here. Glad you have your Mom back and that she bought you such a great present back! Make sure she does the same this weekend ;-) Dex & Lou x
ReplyDeleteColorado is such an incredible place to visit - so beautiful no matter what the season. And yes, Anna, you know us well - we would so love to have been there in all that snow. No amount would be too much (or so we think). Luscious-looking nommies there - enjoy.

Hey Anna!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so glad you're back with us. Cool pix of your mom's trip! Boy that's a ton of snow. My mom's going all crazies now 'cause she loves that guy's creepy books! She knows about that hotel and says your mom's really brave to have stayed there! Glad you got some yummy treats!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
What beautiful pictures!! We have never been to Collar-ado but would love to go!! We have a friend that lives there and she loves it very much! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly
ReplyDeleteYikes! I do not want to think about more snow right now! I've watched that scary movie and your mom is pretty brave to stay there. I'd avoid saying "redrum" around her for a while, just to be sure!

Anna!! Nice to see you again :-) When your page loads on our computer, the first thing we see is the very tips of your ears!! They are so cute and look so soft. Mom loves ears. Weirdo.
ReplyDeleteRottie Kisses!
Wow!!! Your mom had a great time and those pictures are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteChocolate noms?! How wonderful!!! I'm so so jealous now. What a lucky girl you are, Anna!
Great pictures & that hotel corridor DOES look kinda eerie.
ReplyDeletewooo Anna!! Love the pics~we've never heard of doggie furiendly chocolate but we think #1 needs to look into that! Play bows,
ReplyDeleteRA
So good to see you again! Colorado looks gorgeous! We'd like to make it out there at some point. I have to say though, that Stanley Hotel scares the bajeezus out of me (even that hallway pic) but now knowing about the bunnies? No Way!
ReplyDeleteAnna - Our peeps want your Mom's job! She gets to go to some great places! They love the mountains and the beach. That hotel is awesome. Dad loves that movie, Mom is kinda scared of it so she probably wouldn't have stayed there. But it's still cool!
ReplyDeleteSo weird that they have 5 feet of snow and we're panting like crazy here in SC! Maybe we need to go to CO for the summer!
