Estes Park

We spent half of Sunday in Estes Park hiking to Dream Lake. We really did need snowshoes but it wasn't too bad. It was a gorgeous day and again, whine free! When we parked the car it wasn't sounding too great, like boiling radiator kind of thing. Then, we noticed all the coolant on the ground. We decided to let the car simmer down, literally, and enjoy what we came to do.

However, it's a bit hard to enjoy a hike when you wonder how you might be getting home. We talked through all our options a couple of times but true to my nature, I still continued to worry about it. You reminded me of our options "Mom, you need to relax. It's simple. We can call a tow truck and Grandma. There. Ok? Can you please stop worrying now?"

We got back to the car, filled the car up with coolant that happened to be in the back (thank you sweet baby Jesus) and off we went. We made it home with no problems but the car went straight to the shop the next morning. New radiator cap and fan clutch and it's good as new.

Then, we rented Hugo and Cars2 and called it a day!

What a wonderful weekend.
