Colorado Trip!!!!

THE RIDE UP TO COLORADO
Evan having a blast in the long car ride!!
The infamous steakhouse in Amarillo, Texas!
The weather was stormy, and in Colorado,
the clouds were lower than the tops of the mountains!!
A complete rainbow!!
We ran into snow on the way to Breckenridge, CO!
Our hotel, Grand Timber Lodge!!

The view from our porch!!

The view from the pool/hot tubs!!

Evan had a blast with the toilet paper roll!!

We visited the ER on our first full night at the hotel! Evan was sitting in a portable highchair (strapped to a regular chair) and got his feet up on the table and pushed himself backwards. When he fell, he broke his fall on the bottom rung of a bar stool that was behind him. At first he seemed OK, just REALLY upset. About 10 minutes later he vomited and his eyes rolled back and he went limp. We ran off to the ER, and of course was back his happy self by the time we were being seen by the doctor. He was fine but scared us pretty bad!!

Our local beer tasting adventure. My beer was great!! Allen's...not so great!!

Radish eyes was a hit!!




We went to a free concert with Rose on Main Street in Frisco!!

Evan socializing with some of the other concert goers!
We giggled that we had to get armbands so we
could have a beer at the free concert!





The Continental Divide! (A scary drive up!)


Rose watched Evan so Allen and I could have a date night! Yummy!





The Georgetown Loop Railroad!!

Conductor Willy!!
Where's Mama??
Here she is!!


Yikes!! The track is really high up!!



Lake Dillon!! Feeding the chipmunks!




It was required that we visit the Brewery!!


Maggie Pond!!

Blue River that feeds into Maggie Pond!






The view from the Starbucks deck!!

Our exciting biking adventure!!
Allen's bike lost it's back brake making coasting down hills very exciting.
His bike also had a funny trick of popping the chain off the bike if he put it in 2nd gear!!

We stopped to throw rocks into the river! Evan thought it was hilarious!!


Allen and I standing in FREEZING COLD water!
The ride back to Texas :(
Where's Evan??
There he is!
(This game passed LOTS of time in the car.)


Our total miles driven on our trip!!




We had such a great time!
Thanks to Aunt Rosie for coming up to visit and show us around!!
