Here are our Wildlife Encounters for the week:  #1, Rachel and an injured mouse on Monday

#2, Rachel and the ducks at Lake Estes

#3, a goose at Lake Estes

#4, a Bald Eagle:)

#5:  Tuesday, a marmot was outside the Alpine House.

#6, a herd of elk on Trail Ridge Rd

#7 Mule deer in RMNP Tuesday evening

#8 Chipmunks on Friday at Chipmunk Mtn aka Prospect Peak.

#9 The Big Horn Sheep my spouse and three kids saw Monday up Trail Ridge Rd while I was at Lake Estes with my sister and her kids.  I've yet to see them with my own eyes.

I can't seem to get the above pics from being conjoined; the top one is a picture of Estes Park from the top of Chipmunk Mtn.  The bottom one is of Alex and I as she's perched on a large boulder.

Grandpa and his grandchildren:)

The tram as it's coming up the mountain; we're on our way down:)

Tomorrow, Pt 2 of Day #8:)

If you're wondering why I've not posted any updates as to what I'm reading, the daughter has taken possession of the Kindle again.  I found an abandoned print book by Patricia Sprinkle titled What Are You Wearing To Die and I've been reading a few chapters every night.  Plus, BC Brown gave me six or eight print books which she couldn't fit in her car for her trip next week.  I'll post the update next week.  In the meantime, I'm taking advantage of this free time to clean my house from top to bottom, as we baby-proof again.  Miss A has learned to climb on the furniture, so it's phase #3 of Keeping Alex Safe, ha ha!
