My Favorite Place

Image from visittheusa.com "Riding the Estes Park Aerial Tramway to the top of Prospect Mountain"

Estes Park Colorado is my favorite place in the world for many different reasons.
One is that I have grown up vacationing to this town. My great uncle created a homestead in this town and ever since this my family has grown and stayed in this area. I've built many memories here and looked forward to growing with my family here throughout the years.
I also love this place because of the connection to family that ties with Estes Park. My grandfather lives there now and i look forward to always going to visit him along with the rest of my family there.
Throughout the summer, school year, and every time in between I dream of the next visit to this magical place because of the joy i get when i visit my family and the town I love.

    Oh, that brings back memories, Ryan! My parents used to spend time in Colorado, and whenever I visited, Estes Park was where we would always go. I loved being able to see eagles there. AMAZING. How wonderful that you have a family connection like that. I hope you will have many more wonderful visits there in the future! :-)

    Hey Ryan,

    You're the second person I've met today whose favorite place is in Colorado. Seems like a favorite of OU students. I haven't heard of Estes Park but I do love the mountains in Colorado. The view in your picture looks incredible! I would love to take a trip inside that lift. I just might have to check out Estes Park one of these days. Good luck this semester!

The Coyote and the Snake Reading Notes

The Coyote and the Snake One day the coyote was walking along the trail when he heard a voice say Stop! The coyote looked around and he couldn't see anything. He disregarded the warning and kept moving. Once again he heard someone yell stop. He looked around again and he saw nothing until he heard a voice say "Walk over me, or move out of the way." The coyote looked down and found a snake in the path right below him. The snake said that he has been traveling this trail for years and he would simply not move. The coyote said the same thing and that he would simply not move. The coyote said he would have to keep going if the snake moved or not. The snake made the threat that if the coyote stepped over him the snake would have no choice but to kill him. The coyote didn't believe him and called his bluff. He walked over him and the snake bit the coyote. The coyote didn't feel anything and then mocked the snake. The coyote kept walking on and when he got to the...
