Travel & Vacation: Colorado Wildlife

P1240557c

Yes, there are bears near Estes Park!  We were driving and saw this guy across the river from us.

We went on a road trip through the Rocky Mountains.  On our adventures we saw several animals.  The girls were thrilled to see so many neat animals that we don’t see everyday in South Carolina.  We went up through Estes Park, Colorado and made several stops throughout the day.  Thankful for some fun with family.

Caught a quick picture of these critters as we were driving past.  Love that they are munching right off the road and hanging out near a patch of beautiful wild sunflowers.

We drove past a field full of goats.  The girls were fascinated and excited!  They thought it was so cool that someone had so many goats.

The brown speckled goat in the picture is not eating, she is checking out her newly born twin baby goats.  We could see glimpses of the baby goats, but I couldn’t get a close picture of the twin baby goats because their was an electric fence and the grass was too high.  They were tiny and adorable trying to stand up on their own.   The really cool part is that while we were there with our twin girls there was another set of twins watching twin goats being born on National Twin Day.  What is the likelihood that would happen, ha!

This little guy can up to say “hi” to me.  I think he was hoping for a treat!

This one about landed on my Dad’s finger.  So cool seeing their wings fluttering so quickly.
